Nov. 28- Dec. 2

Hi Everyone,

Well the countdown is really on now. Only 15 days until the break- that is just 3 weeks left!! Hang in there! :)
This week there are a few events happening at school. There is both a toy drive and a food drive happening at school. Stay tuned for announcements about the details of these, but you know the drill...bring non-perishable food items, or toys that can be donated to children in need this holiday season. Also, my Grade 12 Entrepreneurship students will begin selling their student-company products this week at lunch time in the cafeteria. They are selling customized school hoodies and water bottles. Watch for posters and TV ads, as well as listen for daily announcements for more information! You may be interested!

Be sure to wear your Matheson clothing on Monday and check your course websites, as per usual ;)

Have a good week!

Week of Nov.21-25

Hi Everybody,

This week at school there is a Zinc Drive, where all Period 1 classes are collecting old batteries. Most people are completely unaware that without enough zinc in our diet, we can die. In fact, over 400,000 people die each year because of zinc deficiencies. That is why the Global Issues club is collecting batteries to donate to organizations like Unicef. The zinc in old batteries can be extracted to make zinc tablets to supplement the diet. Please have a look around your house for any old batteries and bring them to school. Not only will you be helping save lives, but you will also be helping the environment because you are recycling as well! It's a win-win situation, so please do your part!

Now, onto some good news! The countdown to the Winter Break has begun! In looking at the calendar I realized that there are only 20 school days left until Christmas, or whatever holiday you might celebrate! Sweet! :D
That is also only 20 days left to get your work done, so study hard. The reward isn't far off!

Please remember to check your course website for information on the upcoming week.

Have a great week!
