Hey there, time traveller!

Tossing a football in class is verboden, but tossing around Grey Cup facts and figures in the run-up to the 103rd Grey Cup will be on the curriculum in Manitoba schools.
A 45-page teacher’s toolkit was has been released that includes more than 200 examples of how the Grey Cup, football and sport can be used to teach other subjects. Manitoba teachers can integrate football history, statistics, and team building into classroom mathematics, social studies and even dance lessons.
The program was launched today by the 103rd Grey Cup Festival team at St. Vital’s Darwin School, chosen because it has already adopted the education supplement. The Grade 5/6 teacher Nissa Chmilowsky won for her innovative approach to integrating football to her class to explore community engagement and fair play.
The school was visited this morning by Winnipeg Blue Bomber players, Matt Bucknor and Maurice Leggett, and Bomber mascots Buzz and Boomer. Education Minister James Allum was also on hand.
The education supplement can be found here.
The 103rd Grey Cup game is in Winnipeg this year on November 29.
