Huge thanks to Tammy, our PAC VP who sent me this link a while back. Perfect day to share it with you!
Here’s a quote from their homepage -
With a library of over 3,000 videos covering everything from arithmetic to physics, finance, and history and 311 practice exercises, we’re on a mission to help you learn what you want, when you want, at your own pace.
Are you smarter than a fifth grader? You could be after a few of these videos!
Enjoy!
It’s Friday Cambridge!
Did you know it’s fifteen days til St. Patrick’s Day? St. Patrick’s Day honours the feast day of Saint Patrick. People commemorate this day by attending parades, wearing shamrocks, and also wearing green.
Did you know that according to early Roman calendar that March used to be the first month of the year? Well, later on they changed the beginning of the year to January 1st. Some other interesting fact are that March has always had 31 days and March honours the Roman god Mars, the god of War.

Surrey Schools strike notice went home yesterday with details of the cancellation of classes. Parents are asked to find alternative care arrangements for their children during the strike. If you missed the notice, you can pick one up in the office or find the info on the school district website www.sd36.bc.ca
Walk & Talk Community walk-to-school event notice is going home with students today. The Walk and Talk is an opportunity for our Cambridge community (parents, students, neighbours) to walk/bike/scoot to school alongside the City of Surrey Transportation employees and alert them of any potential problems or dangers that hinder the walk (no sidewalks, dog off leash, drug house, narrow street, etc). The Walk takes place the morning of Friday, March 9th. Most walks start around 8 am with a goal to arrive at the school at 8:30. The notice outlines the meeting points for the start of each route. Huge thanks to Tammy for all her hard work with the city to keep this program rolling!
Thanks Cambridge!
Happy March 1st Cambridge!

Congratulations to Subscriber Rewards Performance Lottery winners April, Neeraj, and Robin! They each enjoyed seating for them and a guest at this morning’s performance by the Panorama School of Dance and their PYC dancers (Panorama Youth Company). Huge congratulations to Emma, Alexis, Kaitlyn and Brea who are members of PYC and students at Cambridge! It took a tremendous amount of courage to perform in front of 700 of your closest school-mates! The PYC group performed 11 dances around a Michael Jackson theme including solo performances by Emma and Brea and a duet with Kaitlyn. The show ended with a “who wants to dance??” finale that included about 20 students from the audience learning and performing a hip hop routine and ended with a chance to “show me your stuff”! Outstanding! The students were invited to come check out the dance studio in person or visit their website www.panoramadance.com Then it was out the door and off to 2 more schools to perform again. In the words of one of the dancers as she left the gym….”that was fun”! Huge thanks to our official photographer, Janice, for capturing the moment on film so we can all enjoy a look back at the year end slide show!
And the rewards never end…
