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!
-Ms.Sundin
