Week at Camp

Hello All,

While half of us are gone, here are a few things to note for this week.
Cross Conservation forms need to be submitted ASAP as the trip is for this friday (8.1/8.2) and Monday (8.3/8.4)

A HUGE thank you to the volunteers that had stepped forward for both Camp Sweet and our trip to ASCCA.

For ASCCA we currently have:

8.1/8.2 - Friday
Eeva Harrop
Liesa Miller
Duncan Johnson


8.3/8.4 - Monday
Angela matthews
Patti Paccagnan
Lois Petherick
Adriaan Kruger

Thank you to all that had submitted your names as many of you know, our school would not be able to have the ability to do the things we do without our volunteers.

Terry Fox Run is this Thursday, please bring your pledges and weather appropriate clothing along with running shoes.  8.3/8.4 students will be running at Camp Sweet - pledge forms will ideally come in tomorrow, or early next week.

8.3/8.4 Camp Sweet Trip Needs Volunteers

We are still short on parent volunteers for 8.3/8.4's Camp Sweet trip September 26-28. Please email Miss Groeller (jaime.g@calgaryscienceschool.com) asap if you can volunteer!

Countdown to Camp!

Please find the attached camp information linked below.  As many of us are excited for our Grade 8 camp activities, packing for a variety of weather will ensure a comfortable trip.  In addition to bringing items of need, we are also concerned about bringing our Grade 8 parents out to share in our experiences and help make this trip one to remember (in a good way).  The 8.3/8.4 pod is currently short on parent volunteers, if you are interested, please email Ms. Groeller (Jaime.G@calgaryscienceschool.com)

To save on paper, only the camp forms were sent home and digital copies can be found here:

Call for Parent Volunteers for Camp Sweet

Camp Sweet for the grade 8 classes is just around the corner!

8.1/8.2 - September 24-26
8.3/8.4 - September 26-28

Okay, it is still a month away, but that month will fly by! We need 5 parent volunteers for each trip, preferably a mix of moms and dads. As always, you must have the appropriate security clearance for this trip as you will be required to interact with the students, and it is overnight.

Miss Groeller  will be organizing the parent volunteers for both trips, so please email her if you are interested. (Just click on her name to email, or send an email to jaime.g@calgaryscienceschool.com.)

The Camp Booklet will be posted here on the website a.s.a.p.

Friday Fun Lunches and Snack Attack Wednesdays

Please find the forms for the fun lunches and snack days below. A paper copy went home with all students as well. These forms must be submitted WITH PAYMENT by AUGUST 30. One payment per family is fine, but please indicate this on the forms.

Agendas Have Arrived!

Agendas were distributed to everyone today! 

Please have those conversations about staying organized and maintaining open communication regarding what is happening in classes and at the school in general.

Remember that while all students have an agenda, they may choose their own method of organization. That being said, they must choose one. iCal and GoogleCal are both accessible from the laptop, or on a mobiles device, and they can be shared with other people; so they make great choices.

Happy organizing!

Balzac Meats Fundraiser

Please find a link to the Balzac Meats order form. It has been sent home with youngest and only students as well.
