Convent Glen students wowed by jack-of-all-trades performer
Convent Glen Elementary School got a special visit this afternoon from multi-talented performer Aidan Koper, who is on a week-long tour of schools in the Ottawa area.
Koper showed off his tricks as a contortionist, as a juggler and as a master with the yo-yo. He also hoped the students would be inspired to reach for their goals and dreams – a theme he wove throughout his performance by telling his own story.
That’s what allowed the University of Toronto grad to do what he wanted in his life – being able to make a living from performing.
Koper has traveled around the world and has appeared on TV with the David Letterman and Ellen DeGeneres shows.
