Annie Gale School Science Fair

On February 9th, 2010, Annie Gale School will be hosting its Science Fair. Students have been busily preparing their projects where they are to answer/investigate a science related question of their choice through scientific inquiry. Students will be setting up their projects in the gymnasium the morning of February 9th. A panel of judges that have a scientific background will then judge the projects. Projects will be available for public viewing for family from 11:35-12:10.

A number of projects from the Annie Gale Science Fair will be selected to move on to the Calgary Youth Science Fair held at the Big 4 Building on the Stampede Grounds, March 17, 19 and 20th. During the 2009 Calgary Youth Science Fair, Annie Gale students we awarded with over $300 in prizes. We had many projects placing in the top 3 in the categories entered.

If you have a Science Background and would like to assist in judging please contact Tom Wong at 777-7680 or email @ ttwong@cbe.ab.ca

Annie Gale Career Fair

On Wednesday, February 10, all Grade 9 students will have the opportunity to attend the Annie Gale Career Fair. Students will begin their day with a keynote speaker presentation from Mike Moore of the Calgary Hitmen. After the keynote speaker, each student will have the opportunity to attend three thirty minutes sessions on different careers.

Students have been given a career fair survey where they ranked the career sessions that most interested them. This information will be taken into consideration when placing students into each session. During each session, students will learn about the profession, its educational requirements, how to get started in the particular career and even participate in career based demonstrations.

The careers highlighted include web design, optician, social work, hair and aesthetics, acting, engineering, police officer, fire fighter and medical professions just to name a few!

Grizzly Pride Tokens

These tokens can be earned by students for positive behaviour and displays of Grizzly Pride. They can be given to students for anything teachers feel is commendable. For example a student can earn a token for: being a good citizen; displaying behaviour of altruism; volunteering for community service; or helping another student. Once students receive this token, they are to bring it to the office; At the end of the month we will draw names and they will win a bigger prize such as a Grizzly Pride Pen or a "Grizzly Pride" Lanyard.

Annie Gale Yearbooks

We are very excited to announce that the yearbooks will be in full color this year. It will be a hard cover yearbook with every page in color. They will be delivered in June so that students will be able to get them signed by their friends and teachers. The yearbooks are scheduled to be delivered and handed out in June 2010.

Our yearbooks will include the school pictures of all students, arranged into their Teacher Advisory classes, as well as candid photos of students participating in school activities and sports. We are also including a sixteen page “World Beat” section, in which highlights of the current events and popular trends of the year are posted. This section will be in full color as well.

The cost of the yearbook is $35.00. However, if you purchase one before April 30, 2009 you pay only $30.00! This cost covers making the yearbook, delivery and all of the above-mentioned features.
