This year <strong>Thornlea</strong>’s annual Friends In <strong>Thornlea</strong> (F.I.T.) day was held at Camp Green<br />

Acres on <strong>Sept</strong>ember 7. The purpose of the day is for the new students at <strong>Thornlea</strong> to<br />

meet their peers, and have an opportunity to make some new friends that will hopefully<br />

last a lifetime.<br />

Unlike past years, the activities really focused on team building skills with their new fellow<br />

classmates. All ten teams were assigned a superhero and all the team members<br />

dressed in their superhero’s colour and were taught a team cheer. The groups had two<br />

to three group leaders that are all members of <strong>Thornlea</strong>’s Student Association Council<br />

(T.S.A.C.). Thorough out the day teams were given tickets for their spirit, enthusiasm,<br />

and ability to work as a team. It was a huge success because all of the grade nines<br />

brought all their school spirit, an open mind, and wanted to make new friends. The day<br />

came to a close with one final cheer off.<br />

Congratulations to team Wolverine for coming out on top! Special thanks to Ms. Epstein,<br />

Mr. Foti, Ms. Atkinson, Mr. Stone, Mr. Keval, Mr. Capilongo, Student Council,<br />

Darren Greenspoon, and all the staff at Camp Green Acres for making this incredible<br />

day possible!
