Photo: Joamie elementary school teacher kicks off St. Paddy’s Day

Decked out in green, Jason Rochon, a student support assistant at Joamie elementary school in Iqaluit, gets into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day on March 14, three days before St. Patrick's Day, honouring the Irish patron saint. On March 14, Joamie students were also encouraged to wear green. All students and staff who wore green earned a point toward their "spirit team." (PHOTO COURTESY OF SONJA LEBLANC LONSDALE)
