If you know a girl in Grade 7-10 who is interested in computer, electrical, software, or other fields of engineering, there is great news! On February 24, 2018, Memorial Engineering Outreach will be hosting a Go CODE Girl event in conjunction with the Ontario Network of Women in Engineering.

This half-day event will be held at the Engineering Building on Memorial’s campus and is free of charge, but registration is required. Spaces are limited, so registering early is recommended.  Online registration will open at 9:30am on Friday, February 2.

February is here, and that means the Semester Switch is just around the corner. On Monday, February 5th, students will be switching their one semester courses. All work for the first half of the year must be handed in on this date for it to be counted.

The Mid-Winter Break is also approaching. There will be no school on Friday, February 16th, and Monday, February 19th. Tuesday, February 20th, will be Day 7 on the schedule.

Spelling Bee Winners!

Massive congratulations go out to our spelling bee champions! Our winner was Alex Butt from 7-4, and our runner up was Vincent Burton from 8-5!

Our winners will go on to compete in the Telegram Regional Spelling Bee which will be held at 2pm, February 24th, 2018, at Holy Heart Theatre.  All are welcome.  The winner of that competition will move on to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC. Vincent was the regional winner last year! We’re sure both of these fine young people will do our school proud!
