Today Tennyson's Gr 6/7 Math Club was visited by Jeff Anderson from The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing  at the University of Waterloo.
The students worked on some Gauss contest math  questions and learned about exciting career options that use Mathematics, Computing,  and Problem Solving.

Jeff recommended exercising your brain using the puzzles available for free at krazydad.com
There are also many great resources (and access to Waterloo Math contest questions) available at   www.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/contests/past_contests.html and   ​www.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/contests/preparation.html

​Thank you for the great workshop, Jeff.
​Congratulations to Rachel and Ryan who won U of Waterloo lanyards.

 Please check out the Lost & Found. Everything is on display in the main hallway.
We have thousands of dollars worth of items - with 62 hoodies, odds are  1 in 7 that you own one of them!
The items will be donated at the end of the week so come on by and grab what belongs to your children.

We had a lovely kick-off to the week with carolling this morning in the lobby.
Thanks to Gr 7 student Rachel for playing the piano and to Bernie for playing the guitar.
Come join the fun every morning this week from 8:30am - 8:55am!

The new C'est mon Cafe menu is now available for ordering for the new year.

The Tuesday lunches (C'est mon Cafe lunches) have only been ordered until the end of 2018. If you would like to continue C'est mon Cafe lunches on Tuesday you need to reorder for the new year. The menu and online order form of 2019 has been uploaded to their website,  www.cestmoncafe.com.

Monday and Wednesday lunches through Munchalunch goes through January so you will need to re-order in mid January in order to continue with Sushi and Pizza. We'll tell you about that closer to the time.

Come to the lobby and join the caroling fun next week December 17-21 from 8.30-the first bell. Thank you to our wonderful pianists Rachel Rallison and Scarlet Niven (Grade 7) and guitarist, Bernie (Ryo and Novi’s dad) who will be accompanying the singers this week.

We can safely say this lovely event is becoming a Tennyson tradition. You can see pictures from past events here, 2012, 2013 and 2015 and more families are joining in each year.

How amazing are TOSS students who hosted a bake sale and ran other fundraising events in order to buy essentials including clothes, toiletries and sleeping bagd and about $800 in gift cards for youth in need.


Grade 4 TOSS students brought the donations to the Vancouver Courier office who will deliver them to Directions Youth Services, an organization that supports at-risk and street-involved youth under the age of 25 in Vancouver.


Check out the Vancouver Courier article about their generosity.
