On Monday, October 15, we had a pleasure of welcoming the oldest marathon runner, Mr. Fauja Singh, a 101-year old resident of London, England, to our kindergarten classroom. Mr. Singh was here in Ottawa to meet with our Prime Minister and Governor General. Mr. Singh started his career as a marathon runner at the age of 89. He has completed nine marathons including his most recent accomplishment of running the London Marathon in April 2012. Mr. Singh also carried the Olympic torch as part of the London Olympics.
Big thanks to Mrs. Uppal (Kirpa's mom) for this wonderful treat!
Cheers,
Mrs. J
