As the Invictus Games comes to an end in Toronto we are left inspired We are also extremely proud of Melissa Smith as she finishes up the games with a Silver medal and was also selected to be Team Canada’s flag bearer in the closing ceremonies; this was a great honour and one which allowed Melissa to receive the Invictus Medallion for her team and shake hands with the Patron of the Games, Prince Harry.
Melissa has traveled a long road since she left Random Island Academy and we hope this Invictus experience was truly a fantastic one for her. We were so proud to see her compete on an international stage, and we were extremely proud to hear the words ‘Random Island’ & ‘Elliott’s Cove’ uttered so much on National Television! Watching you capture a Silver Medal and walk in with our country’s flag during the closing ceremonies has been an inspiration; our students have learned so much from watching these games and watching you…Thank You!
