During the month of April, Sansome School gym classes were co-taught by two prominent Manitoba athletes. Sean Grassie from Tennis Manitoba was here for 2.5 days to work in partnership with Mrs. Starkell to introduce the basic skills and movements of tennis to all students. This will continue on into the use of the neighbouring tennis courts located next to the school. Our second athlete visit was Emily Potter who played on the Canadian National Team. Emily also played in the NCAA, was invited to the WMBA and now plays professionally in Poland. She also worked in partnership with Mrs. Starkell on skill development with all students from Grades 2 - 5 and provided students with a positive message about sport and the importance of mental health.
