Book orders - the last book order of the year is due this Friday.  No worries about the mail strike, the books are delivered by CanPar.

Rockin' Rockets - the Engineering Science Quest from the University of Waterloo gave a number of workshops in the school today.  Grade 3/4 had a blast (hah!) making rockets that they actually got to test out.
