THE CHRONICLE
Monday January 9, 2017
GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Math Contests
Math contests look great on scholarship applications and resumes, but if you've never tried one, the idea can be intimidating. The Pascal, Cayley and Fermat contests are coming up, and they are probably the best ones to try if you've never done one before. They are grade-specific, for grades 9-11, only 60 minutes long, and you are allowed a calculator. These contests will be written in block 1 on Tuesday, February 8th. Sign up in the Math wing on the contest board, or talk to either Mr. Skanks or Mr. Paananen if you have any questions.
Bake Sale – Thursday
There will be a bake sale this THURSDAY at lunch. Bring along your sweet tooth and support the CSI swimmers.
Courage To Come Back Awards
Have you been inspired by someone who has overcome illness or adversity and quietly goes about making the world a better place for all of us? The Courage to Come Back Awards recognize British Columbians who have overcome adversity or illness and have gone on to help others. Recipients are selected in each of the following categories: Addiction, Mental Health, Social Adversity, Medical, Physical Rehabilitation, and Youth. For more information, or to submit a nomination, go to CourageToComeBack.ca Deadline for nominations is February 8th.
