(Take that Spider-Man)


8L Parents: If you have never had the good fortune to visit one of our national parks, or if you have the hankering to return, well then you're in luck, because your grade 8 child is eligible for a "Parks Pass Canada".  This pass will enable your child to have free entry (year-round) to all Parks Canada places.  As well, your family will receive a discount (when you bring your grade 8 child - even if they are kicking and screaming).  If you are interested in receiving a pass, please reply to the blog with both yours and your child's name and I will add you to the list.  I must make the order before May 31, so don't delay.

8L: you will need to fill out a survey between April 9th and May 15th.  Once you have completed it, please let me know so I can check your name off the list.  The survey can be found here:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/yrdsb2015StudentGrade7and8
