Congratulations to Dustin Fraser (Mt. Washington) and Graham Kraft (Silver Star) for achieving grades worthy of Honour Role status in the first term of their Grade 12 year. Both BC Ski Team athletes attend David Thompson Secondary School in Invermere (near Panorama Mountain) and manage full academic course loads while training with the team.
“It goes to show that, with hard work and focus, you can do both well.” said Joanne Bragg, teacher and coordinator of BC Team programs at David Thompson. “It also helps that the teachers understand and work with the athletes to accommodate their travel schedule.”
Well done guys! Keep up the good work!
On behalf of the BC Team athletes and coaches, and everyone at BC Alpine, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank Joanne Bragg and the staff at David Thompson Secondary School for their continued support and contribution to the education of our athletes, allowing them to pursue their ski racing dreams while achieving their academic goals!
