Let's get Cellular!

This past Friday we were privileged to have Hi-Touch Hi-Tech come in a teach the Grade 6's about cells. The best part? We got to wear goggles! Just kidding. Our students spent the morning looking at, touching, smelling, and generally interacting with cells on many levels. We even were able to eat some! (not real cells just candy ones.) Here's a few pictures to get your mitochondria excited.

Feel the Rhythm, Feel the Rhyme, Get on up, It's Racing time!

Last Wednesday the entire MC took to the hills running for our....School! SCS hosted the annual Christian Schools Cross-Country race at Bear Creek Park here in Surrey. Our entire Middle School participated even though the weather conditions were not ideal. Huge props and kudos to Mr. Embree as he ran the teacher race pushing his daughter in a stroller...impressive!

Terry Fox.....RUN!

Here's the video of our Terry Fox Memorial Run this year. Mr. Bandstra and Mrs. Bron did a great job of organizing and educating us on the legacy of Terry Fox, then we ran. There were a few communication errors, a few over eager students, and a few wipe outs on the wet grass but there were smiles and best of all we were reminded of the sacrifice and cause of Terry Fox. Without him cancer awareness and research would not be where it is today.

Here's the link to our video: Terry Fox Run 2012
