Water Trip Kananaskis

Our class has the amazing opportunity to go to Kananaskis next week on May 30th to participate in water quality testing in correlation with the Science Grade 8 Fresh and Salt Water Systems unit. They were given forms today to return ASAP to their Science teachers. Please take a look at the letter as it contains really important information about what to bring, expectations, etc.

Important information:

• We are departing the school at 9:00 am and returning to school at around 2:30 pm.  
• Please ensure that your child has a healthy lunch, snacks, and water for the day.  There WILL NOT be any place to purchase food or water and we will be eating our lunches on the bus. 
• Weather in the mountains can change very quickly and often is very different from the weather in Calgary.
• It is recommended that students have a warm jacket, gloves, and a hat, sunscreen as well as some clothing for rain.   
• Proper footwear is also very important and we also recommended that each student wear rubber boats (or at least some sort of protective footwear) as we will be either “in” or “at the edge” of the Elbow River several times during the day. 

Forms must be returned on May 26th latest. We do need a parent volunteer, so if a parent is interested in helping us out and heading out to the mountains for the day please email Ms. Noullett at emnoullett@cbe.ab.ca.

Thank you and we can't wait for May 30th!
