EOE 8 Kamp Kiwanis

EOE 8 Camp is a month away!! Students in EOE 8 (Term 1 & 2) have the opportunity to go to Kamp Kiwanis April 14- April15!  Forms were handed out at lunch today.  If your child did not get one, they can pick one up from the Phys Ed office.  There are only 35 spots available, so only students who are in good standing at school, are caught up on all of their assignments will be considered and get their forms in first will be the ones to go to camp.  Extra forms are posted on the EOE D2L Shell if students have misplaced their forms.  

We need 2 parent volunteers to come to camp with us.  Please email Mrs Simpson at mbsimpson@cbe.ab.ca to volunteer.

There will be a mandatory Parent Meeting March 31, 2016 in the Main Gym to learn more about Kamp Kiwanis.

EOE Ski Trip was a success!

A great time was had by all staff and students who attended the Nakiska Ski Trip this week!  A BIG Thank You to those parents who volunteered their time to help supervise and make this trip a success!

EOE 7 Feb 16th - 20th

This week will continue to review daypacks and what we should bring to ensure success and safety in the backcountry, learn about safety on ski hills for our upcoming ski trip to Nakiska, and begin to talk about appropriate clothing.  What materials are good and bad to use, layering systems, and and more.

EOE 9

On Wednesday we will review all safety concerns and expectations for our snowshoeing field trip to Hogarth Lakes.  I was out there this weekend and it is beautiful.

Students and parents can expect the next field trip form for our upcoming ski trip to Nakiska to come home this week.

EOE 8: January 18th - January 22nd

It is difficult to believe, but we have only 2 weeks left of the term!

This week we will look at Avalanche Awareness in Preparation for the Ski Trip to Nakiska that will take place MARCH 7, 2016!  Details will be coming soon!

There will also be more information coming soon about the Kamp Kiwanis Grade 8 EOE Camp Trip that will be happening April 14th-15th!  Volunteers will be needed and it will be open to both Term 1 and Term 2 students participating in the Outdoor Education Program!  Spots are limited as there is another school there at the same time as we are, so students will be responsible for listening to announcements and getting their forms in quickly to secure a spot.

EOE 9 January 11th - January 15th

EOE 9 students will continue their work on their EOE year long project that is an investigation of an outdoor activity that they might want to pursue outside of school.

Next week we will begin to look at snow safety and avalanches in preparation for our snowshoeing trip in February.

EOE 7 January 11th - January 15th

This week EOE 7 students will refresh their climbing skills and knowledge prior to our trip on Thursday.  Reminder to get your form and money in!

Next week for our last unit, students will be investigating the contents of a daypack that might make their experience more enjoyable in the event of unplanned situations occuring.
