Ski/Snowboard Lessons in March - March 19 and 20 
Note from the office - In the past, the total cost of this field trip included not only lessons and rentals, but also the shared cost of transportation.   For this 2-day ski/snowboard lesson event, our School Council is covering the bussing cost for the return trip for these two ski/snowboard days, a savings of $10.29 per student.  Parents are now able to go online to their My CBE / PowerSchool account to pay this fee.  

Outdoor School in June - June 4, 5, 6 and 7
Note from the office - The Outdoor School fee of $315 ($300 + $15 GST) is now showing up on your student’s parents’ My CBE / PowerSchool Accounts.  Parents are able to put down whatever amounts they can now and on whatever intervals that works for them so that the fee is paid by the time the June Outdoor School program begins.



Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We learned the different types of bark and branching patterns of our chosen tree. 
How did you show what you learned?
We went outside into the Whispering Woods. We found our special tree and determined the branch pattern and what type of bark they have. 
What do you need to learn next?
In the spring we will identify the types of leaves our tree has.
