I work as an Educational Assistant at St. Francis School (grade 4-8) in Fort Frances, Ontario. You will find in Canada, that NCAA sports does not have as much influence as they do in the states. I am a 2000 graduate from the University of Kansas. I have talked about my beloved Jayhawks in class. My 6th grade class came to school on Friday, April 4, with their faces painted crimson and blue, and some made t-shirts. They surprised me with this and are cheering for the Jayhawks during this Final Four event! It made my year to see those kids as excited about the Jayhawks as I am. Go Jayhawks!
