Sprinter and Olympic hopeful Sam Effah, right, listens as each student shares his or her favourite part of the Classroom Champions mentorship program with him, during a classroom visit on Friday at Assiniboia Park School. Grade 2 teacher Kendra Gonczy, at left, took a photo of each student with Effah, and he signed each student’s shirt. Effah has been teaching life lessons to this class, and to classes at Queen Elizabeth School, during the year via video chats on Skype or on video, and he made a personal visit to meet the students he has been helping to mentor. Effah hopes to race in the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
