I think there is a big mistake ......I read seven school participate and reading the names written down I counted more than seven .....check that out Bibi .....also i have a question ...was the event only for athelics ? cause some teachers never showed up at any of the events 3 days free ....teachers must be responsible for their cla** at such an outing it is unfair to keep the non athletics home or at school because a teacher does want to participate,,,,,, who was monitoring that? ....I pray that preparation start as soon as yesterday for next year ......look at all the loop holes .....transportation .......security.......supplies( water,snacks) bathroom facilities......accountability of staff present at the games.........live broadcasting ......parade of schools.....just a few observations and success at next year games will be Even-greater....

@ Concerned Parent,
The event was held for only cycle 2 (ages 8-13) students of all elementary schools. What I observed was, some schools did not take part so therefore they opted to have regular school (sad). Some schools only came with their athletes. The rest of the school had regular school which I found to be unfair to those students. All schools were suppose to walk with their spectators as well as athletes. So schools like St. Dominics, Sr. Magda, CIA and LU had no one cheering them on besides the few parents that showed up to support them. Those schools only took part in one or two events which was also dissappointing.

Teachers were all dispatched to different venues, so if you only remained at the sports complex, it will seem as if teachers were not in attendance.

Although more thought and oragnization has to be put into it, these were three good days for both chidren and teachers. You could see the teachers were really into the competitive mode as well as the children. We do have a lot of sports men and women in our schools and through this medium they were able to show it.

I do agree that planning has to start now for the second Olympiad and I advise that if its held in February again next year, I propose it's held the three days before the two days off or be held on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. These last two days were extremely difficult getting the children to settle back down. A parade of schools would have also been wonderful as well.

So with more being put into planning this event and upgraded sporting facilities, I say we can get this Olympiad to be a successful anual event.

It could have been more Organized but every one want to say I do this or I do that so that's why it was like that lets say they have space for 100 valentear the sport department keep a meeting with about 5 people don't tell the schools in time and don't ask the other 95 people there imput of what they think so now when the time come valentear have to wondering what going on and what is to be done if they call that success they don't know what is success
