Ms. Chandra and I had the pleasure of listening to and evaluating all of the grade 6-8 science projects this week. We were so impressed by the quality of the work and effort the kids put into their projects and they should be congratulated on their accomplishments. 

Experiments ranged from finding the ideal conditions for optimal plant growth, exploring factors that affect memory to building innovations to optimize WiFi speed and sustainable housing.  

Today, the top projects in each grade presented in front of a panel of judges for final evaluations. Awards will be given to the top projects at the open house on Monday night. 

I'd like to thank Mr. Iceton, Ms. Chandra and Mr. Littlejohn for their commitment to this event. 

Just a reminder that report cards will be sent home in a few weeks. Parents can book an interview time, although second term interviews are generally for teachers to meet with parents to discuss concerns about a child's progress. The on-line booking will be available in a couple of weeks. We will put the new code and dates in upcoming bulletins. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
