Exclusive invitation – Special event with an Astronaut!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are pleased to announce that the grade 6 students at St. Cecilia have been selected to attend the Canada Aviation and Space Museum for a special event with astronaut David Saint-Jacques! You read correctly: Astronaut David Saint-Jacques is back from the International Space Station to share his experience with our students!

The event will take place on Thursday, November 21, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum downtown. Our students will gather in the auditorium of the museum, where they will have the incredible opportunity to hear David Saint-Jacques speak about his experience in space. Students will also have the chance to ask him questions and meet him in person. 

School bus transportation will be provided by the Canadian Space Agency and will depart at 9 a.m. Students are asked to arrive at school no later than 8:55 a.m. to board the bus at 9 a.m. in order to maintain our schedule. We will then return to the school by 12:30 p.m. for lunch.

There is no fee for this activity. Please confirm your child’s attendance by carefully reading, completing and returning BOTH the permission and consent forms as soon as possible. Due to the high publicity and media coverage of this event, it is imperative that the consent form for the use of photographs, videos and voice recordings be signed. 

We are looking forward to a great day of learning!

Sincerely, 

The Grade 6 teachers
