EOE 8 - Week of November 2- November 6


  • Students in Grade 8 will continue to work on their "Leave No Trace CANADA " Outdoor Code of Ethics Project in class this week.  They have come up with a variety of different formats to represent their understanding of the 7 Principles and I look forward to seeing their final products!

  • A Wall Climbing trip has been booked for December 16th!  Information and forms will be coming home shortly! 

  • Students now have access to the EOE 8 D2L Shell.  This is where they will be able to access all of their notes, assignments and calendars with up to date due dates, trips, etc.  I will also be posting trips and assignment due dates on the Elboya VLC  EOE Calendar so that parents can know what is coming up!
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me by email at mbsimpson@cbe.ab.ca.  

Thanks!  Have a great week!
