Fun, free and educational activity for students
Dear Teachers/Program Directors/Community Partners,
I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce Animal Grossology, an exciting and uniquely educational exhibition at Metropolis at Metrotown. Adapted from the best-selling children’s series Grossology written by author and science teacher Sylvia Branzei, Animal Grossology brings to life all the gritty and gross facts on some of nature’s most disgusting critters.
Animal Grossology exhibition features; imaginative animated characters from the book and hands-on interactive challenges that engage visitors in a larger-than-life look at nature’s blood sucking, vomit-munching, slime making and dookie loving creatures. Fundamental educational content is captured through easy to read, giant 3-D book walls. The entire atmosphere interacts and entertains with a high-energy approach to science.
Animal Grossology will be in Metropolis at Metrotown from May 15 to August 22, 2010. With the school year coming to an end, this may be a great last field trip for your class and a fun adventure for summer programs.
Complimentary guided school and group tours are available upon request. The info is appropriate for K-7. The tours are 30-45 minutes in length and teachers and students will receive takeaways, including student activity sheets, for further gross adventures.
If you would like to learn more about this fun, educational exhibition or book a tour please Kristy Slough at 604.630.3364 or kslough@ivanhoecambridge.com
Sincerely,
Artie Chumpol

March 1 is Ready, Set, Get Involved Night at Chaffey
Parents/Guardians,
Have you ever wondered what goes on at the monthly Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meetings? Well, your curiosity can be satisfied on Monday, March 1 as we welcome you to a special evening at Chaffey. All parents/guardians are invited to come meet Principal Kathie Cornell and Head Teacher Franka Raynier, who will report on what's going on at the school and provide you with 101 reasons for getting involved at Chaffey.
In one hour, you can learn about the many special programs that Chaffey volunteers are involved in and how they help enrich your child's development at Chaffey. You can also decide which ones you might be interested in helping out with in the future. Our volunteers make our school special, and the more the merrier. Don't let language be a barrier. It's also never too late to get involved. There are many opportunities to help out and socialize, even if English is not your first language. We welcome everyone!
The meeting starts at 7pm and will run until 8pm in the school library. Refreshments and babysitting will be provided.
Cheers,
Mary MacKillop and Elaine Dun
PAC Co-chairs
