YPI Presentation Finalists

Thank you all for your amazing work on your presentations for the Youth Philanthropy Initiative program!!! 

Mrs. Cooke and I were very impressed by the quality of your information and your skills as presenters.  As promised, we are posting the Charities of the groups selected to be finalists.  These two groups will present at YPI finals on Tuesday, March 3rd at 1:30pm in our main gym.  A panel of five judges (outside of the grade 9 teaching team) will determine the winning presentation at this time.


The two groups selected from 9-1 and 9-2 to proceed to the finals are:

Calgary Homeless Foundation (group members KA, OL, RO, AZ, JZ)

and

Ronald McDonald House Charity (group members DF, KH, NL, KZ)


Again, a huge thank you to everyone for participating and for putting in such an impressive effort!

Thanks to everyone who handed their "Story of" integrated projects in on Thursday.  Mrs. Cooke and I are eager to look at them together next week! :)  If you did not hand yours in, it is overdue so please hand it in ASAP. 

YPI Presentations are on Friday, Feb 28th - Please make sure you spend some time at home to get ready for this - you will have some time in Humanities also.  Two groups from the 9-1 and 9-2 group will be chosen for the finals on March 3 at 1:30pm.

A reminder that there is no school for students Thursday, Friday (Teacher's Convention) or Monday (Family Day).  

The "Story of..." Science/Humanities integrated task is due on Thursday, February 20th.  Students conferenced with me this week for a progress update - notes were recorded in PowerSchool.
