The first week flew by. I can't believe that it is already the second week. If your child has not yet brought in a rock please try and send one over the next few days. In the afternoon of Sept. 25th we are having an in class field trip with Scientists in Schools. In order to run the program we are in need of 4 parent volunteers from 12:25-3:10 on the 25th.

If you are able to volunteer please email me at adpenonzek@cbe.ab.ca. Thank you to all of you who have already let me know that you are able to volunteer for our week at Arts Commons! We are still in need of some more volunteers.
