Mr. Mathew Court - Power Lifter




Mr. Court Lifting up Mrs. Court...what do you think was going through her mind???





Mr. Court at the Provincial Championships...going for another world record!?!






Mr. Court competing in the strong man competition...imagine pulling this 18 wheeler 150 feet!









Our class will soon have the opportunity to meet Mr. Court in person! Just prior to his next competition in Ohio during the March Break, he will be taking time out of his busy schedule to come and talk to us.
Some students have already had the chance to ask Mr. Court questions through their journal. In the comments section please share what you have learned about him with the rest of the class. If you did not have the opportunity to write in your journal then please think of one question you would now like to ask.

We'd like to wish Mr. and Mrs. Court all the best as they head off to this Arnold Schwarznegger invitational competition as part of a Canadian delegation of 8 power lifters. We look forward to hearing about this experience.

Bravo!
From your fans from grade 4 at L.E.S.
