The CanDI Bashers are headed to Tennessee!
The CanDI Bashers are a group of 8-and-9-year-old girls from East Chilliwack Elementary who placed first in their category at the BC finals of Destination Imagination (DI). Now they’re headed for the global finals in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Destination Imagination is a creativity competition. This popular program helps young people build lifelong skills in creative and critical thinking, teamwork, time management, and problem solving. Participants work together as a team to create their unique solution to a team challenge.
For their challenge, the CanDI Bashers created their own skit about the importance of nutrition and friendship. They wrote the script, built the props, designed the costumes, and used their sewing and skipping skills to round out the show.
They won their regional competition in Mission, then were thrilled to emerge victorious at the regionals in West Vancouver.
Now they want to share it with the world! They begin their journey to Tennessee on Sunday, May 18.
Thanks to all of our supporters and donors and loving families! If we can get computer access we'll keep you informed of our adventures through this blog!
Love and peace,
Carlee, Danielle, Emma, Lauren, and Susan (and their coaches Nicole and Tara) (and their accompanying mums Anne, Cheryl, and Verna).
