Unicorn Preparatory School held a fun ‘Box Car’ racing day Thursday April 25!
The school had over 130 entries which meant 130 amazing box cars that exceeded the expectations of everyone involved!
To create excitement ‘The Stig’ arrived at school hyping scholars into full blown race mode. Box Car themes ranged from unicorns to ice cream trucks, transformers, ambulance, Knight Rider and a Paw Patrol helicopter!
Unicorn pupils, teachers and parents had lots of fun watching the cars race and the school spirit was great with the Grade 7’s leading the school with war cries!
