Caring for our Watersheds

Agrium was at our school today teaching our students about caring for our watersheds.  They explained more about the contest they run for students in grades 7-12. (http://www.agrium.com/stories/1093.jsp)

Last year three MidSun students won $1300 in prizes by entering the competition.  We challenge all students to find ways to care for this important resource.  We would be proud to have another finalist this year!

Coming up....

We would like to remind parents to check their inboxes for mark updates from your child’s teachers tomorrow, Friday October 21^st.  Please let our office know if you do not receive them as we may have an issue with your email address.
