Our Inquiry on rocks and gems began when Mrs. Wilson noticed that the students were finding rocks outside at recess and were bringing them in to show us. From there, we started asking what a rock was. Where do gems come from? What is a fossil? Where are the crystals?

Congratulations to all Grizzlies who competed in the regional cross country meet at Sarnia’s Canatara Park! You gave it your all and represented our school well!
