(Clip and save for your records) Dear Parents,

As part of our Science unit we are planning a trip to the Telus Spark Science Center on Thursday, October 31. While we’re there, we will be able to view the displays, and experiment in the different centers they have to offer.

We will be travelling to the Telus Spark Science Centre by school bus. ALL and volunteers must be at the school by 8:30 a.m. We will be leaving the school at 9:00 a.m., and arriving back from the field trip by 2:30 p.m.

Students must be wearing their burgundy golf shirts and jeans. They will also need a bag lunch and a water bottle.

We will need a few parent volunteers for Grades 1 and 2 to come supervise. Volunteers will meet at the school at 8:30 a.m. and come with us on the school bus. Sorry, we ask that you do not bring siblings. The school has budgeted for a specific amount of volunteers per class to help with this fieldtrip. If you can help, please be sure to indicate on the form above and make sure you have a police check on file at the school. These volunteers will be chosen on a ‘first come-first served’ basis, so if you’re interested, please get your form back ASAP! We will contact you if you have been chosen as a volunteer. Thanks! Mrs. MacDonald, Miss Quemuel, Mrs. Schirok, Mrs. Liknes and Mrs. Harris
