Page 13 68 HOORAYS more more A huge shout out to Bill Taylor for his interaction with a Ladysmith student. Bill is engaged and you could tell he cares! Bill and his Drama students are doing a “go pro” film with the student, showing what it is like from her view in her wheelchair. Sort of like a “day in the life.” Bill is so enthusiastic and you can tell the student feels this!!! When he walks in the room and talks to her, she lights up! When we talk about inclusion, THIS is what it looks like!! Congratulations to five of our Nanaimo wrestlers who competed at the BC High School Provincial Championships held in Langley, BC: Emmitt Giesbrecht (Grade 8; Wellington), Kaleb Simpso (Grade 8; Ladysmith); Sam Colyn (Grade 11; Dover); Colby Young (Grade 11; Dover); and Evangelina Schultz (Grade 12; Island ConnectEd). Coach Aaron Bruce (NDSS) and the other coaches are very proud of all the athletes’ determination and sportsmanship. Two of our wrestlers finished in the top six in their weight class. Colby Young beat both the second and fourth ranked wrestlers in his weight class but loss to the eventual BC champion in the semi-finals; he finished fifth in the province. A special recognition goes to Emmitt Giesbrecht who had an amazing tournament. Emmitt defeated his year-long nemesis in the gold medal final to become the BC Champion for his weight class. Emmitt has been invited to be a member of Team BC. Well done, wrestlers!!
