Greetings from Grimsby Secondary School's Parent Advisory Council!

Please accept this post as a personal invitation from myself and the parent advisory council to our first meeting of the year, Tuesday September 27th at 7pm in the staff room. At this meeting, we will set our 6 meeting dates of the year as well as start the planning for our speaker event. There is no commitment being a member of PAC as I do understand we all have busy lives; we make it out to the meetings which fit into our schedules and any participation is volunteered as your time permits.

It would be great to see you at the meeting but if not, these posts will serve to keep you updated on what PAC is doing and reminders of important event dates.

If you have any questions on PAC, I welcome them openly via email, phone call or text.

Montreal Science Fair

Canada Wide Science Fair

This past week two of our GSS Eagles were part of Team Niagara, travelled to Montreal and spent the week, all expenses paid, at the Canada Wide Science Fair. They were fortunate enough to hear Chris Hadfield speak and I'm sure they can tell you about many other excellent adventures during this well-earned and valuable experience. Science Fair requires many hours of work and committment and both of these students worked tirelessly on their projects, allowing them to reach the National level. We want to congratulate Lucas on receiving the Clinical Chemistry Award, the SM Blair Foundation Award, the Manning Achievement Award, and Lucas also received the GOLD MEDAL in the senior division.
