CCA Olympic Festival Triumph

7th of June 2024 - Calgary Classical Academy Bridgeland Campus

Our Greek Olympic fundraising event which held on the 7th of June 2024, inspired by the grandeur of the Greek Olympics, was a success. Students, parents and teachers donned Togas. The day was filled with laughter, athlectic feats, dunking of teachers and community spirit, all aimed at supporting CCA’s PE program.

The Greek Olympic Event at Calgary Classical Academy was a memorable day that transported students, parents, and staff back to ancient Greece to celebrate friendly competition and athletic spirit! This exciting event not only brought our school community together but also raised funds for a great cause, helping us purchase new physical education equipment.
