A few notes and reminders

We are heading into a busy time (as if there is ever a quiet time) with Education Week coming up and the end of the year imminent. So, here are a few reminders:

1. Photo proofs need to be returned whether or not you are ordering.
2. Photo retakes are Tuesday, April 26.
3. Our Musical Theatre performance is May 4 at 9:30 (Dress Rehearsal) and May 5 at 1:30. All parents and family are welcome to either. Students should dress like teens in the 70's or rock stars.
4. Junior Track Day will be scheduled due to a conflict in scheduling. A new date is pending. The school board Track Meet is June 20 (rain date June 22).
5. EQAO begins May 25 and will mostly like run 6 mornings consecutively.
6. The Farewell Ceremony is still Tuesday, June 28 at 9:30. Students will have lunch at Boston Pizza and go bowling for the afternoon. They also receive their report card that day.

Congratulations Rose and Finn!

Congratulations to Rose and Finn who have been collaborating with their PGL peers to research space phenomena and attributes and learn about science experiments, in order to design an experiment for space. They have successfully competed against students 11-18 years of age, from all continents, and justified in their proposals, why "Cubes in Space" should spend their funds on sending these experiments into flight.

World Water Day

March 22 is World Water Day. It is important to understand how lucky we are in North America to have access to clean tap water.

Today, students will view a video to learn about the bottled water industry. Tomorrow, we will conduct our own taste test on the quality of tap vs bottled water. Please see the video below...
