Announcements for March 24, 2015

Good morning, Pipers! This week is I Love Science Week. Did you know that...
The first electronic digital computer (called ENIAC - the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator) was developed in 1946 and contained over 18,000 vacuum tubes.  Science is strange, science is weird, science is fun, and science is awesome!

There is an important yearbook meeting tomorrow at 12 noon. All yearbook team members should attend.

There will be a Crapshooters rehearsal in the dance studio during the lunch hour. Please see Ms. Botincan if you are unable to attend.

Are you in Grade 11 and who like to be considered for the United Way Service Award? The United Way Service Award is given to one Grade 11 student in each participating High School in Winnipeg.
Award recipients are students who set an example for others by: Volunteering, Motivating other students to get involved and Connect and work with others to make a difference in our community.
Please see Mrs Palmer for an application to be considered for the United Way Service Award.

Reminder:  Tomorrow is ART Club. Bring your ideas and a friend to the ART Room on Wednesday.

Attention Rookie Hockey players! There will be a brief meeting for all grade 9 and 10 students who signed up for the rookie hockey team today @ 12:03 in room 204. If you are unable to make the meeting, please see Mr. Mclachlan or Mr. Steeves with important information.

If you’re a high-school student or 2015 graduate to be, you’re eligible to work for Winnipeg’s premier advertising firm, McKim, for the summer of 2015 in our second annual Get Out of the Basement campaign. You can be part of a dynamic team of your peers helping spread the word about some of the cool things we have to do in and around Winnipeg all summer long. We’re looking for people with communication, social media and digital media interests — everything from being in front of the camera to behind the keyboard. If you’re into video, video games, social media, theatre or music this is probably a good place for you to learn to explore work options that relate your interests and talents. By the end of the summer, you’ll have had a powerful work experience, attended many fun events and have a great job history to put on your resume.  Stop by the office for more details.

Reminder to Grads that the Mom’s pantry orders need to be handed in to Mrs. Penner room 113 no later than 3:30 on Wednesday, Mar 25.  Please make sure your name in listed as the seller on each order form turned in.

Spirit week takes place this week. Today is Tight and Bright Day.

Here is another scholarship opportunity for Grade 12 students.  Together with the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, Folklorama is pleased to present the Mark & Dorothy Danzker Scholarship for Excellence, an annual award of excellence for the preservation of ethno-cultural heritage.  This $1000 scholarship acknowledges students who demonstrate an active involvement in preserving their ethno-cultural heritage through volunteer work, employment or contributions to a cultural activity within Manitoba.   The application deadline is April 30, 2015.   Please see Mrs. Palmer for more details.

Announcements are posted in the front link, on the doors of Gym AB, on the website, on the blog, and on the Parent Portal.
