Remember Shoshawna Patel, the Grade 12 New Westminster Secondary School baking student who won gold at the Skills Canada B.C. competition? Well, she just returned from a few days in Winnipeg where she represented British Columbia at the national Skills Canada competition.
While she didn’t win, she did a great job, according to Karen Crosby, New Westminster Secondary career programs coordinator.
“Shoshawna was two points below the bronze medal – she did very well!” she wrote in an email.
Way to go, Shoshawna!
Time to party!
The school year is almost over and to celebrate, the parent advisory council (PAC) at École Herbert Spencer has organized a carnival for Friday, June 16 from 5 to 8 p.m.
The evening event will feature more than a dozen carnival games, activities including an adventure inflatable park, face painting, cake walk, dunk tank, bouncy castle, whip out, horse race and strong man, and two food trucks – Triple O’s and Tacofino.
There will also be many free activities to take part in, entertainment, crafts, tattoo station and more.
Volunteers are still needed. Parents: check your emails for details from the PAC.
And to save a few bucks, families are encouraged to buy wristbands and tickets by this Friday.
Pre-sale wristbands are being sold for $10 ($12 on carnival day), and 20 tickets are going for $15 in advance ($1 each on carnival day). Students should have received an order form that needs to be returned to teachers by June 9 (tomorrow).
Any questions regarding wristbands and tickets, email [email protected].
