Urgent Need for LLL Saints Volunteers

Alumni and Well-Wishers,

In order to make a success of the Last Lap Lime in 2017, SSCAAT needs a large number of volunteers (about 25) to work at different booths on Monday August 7th, 2017.
We also need 5 volunteers to help in setting up tents on the preceding Sunday and taking the same down on the following Tuesday in order to avoid having to pay somebody to do these necessary tasks. Volunteers present on the Monday will be given free entry tickets and lunch. Each volunteer is being asked to cover a four-hour shift.
This year the need for LLL volunteers is even more urgent as only four instead of the usual five schools are participating. Please offer your voluntary services to ensure a financially successful 2017 Last Lap Lime. Without your help this will not be possible.

Please Contact
 indicating your willingness to help.

Thank You

Saints Robotics Club

LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Remote Controlled Robots - 31313
Guyana Success at First Global Robotics
Alumni,

In view of the exceptional performance of Guyanese students at the recently held First Global Robotics Competition, Toronto Saints (SSCAAT) wants to support robotics at Saints by providing enough kits for the Saints STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) students to work with as they form their new club. Four kits, for each of the Houses, are being sought.

In this endeavor, the students will be guided by Alumna, Ms. Arianna Mahase, one of the members of the successful Guyana team and former HM Mr. Dinband Khusial who have already agreed to coordinate the Saints Robotics Club being formed in September.
Each kit costs about CDN$519.00.

Please agree to make your generous donation by getting in touch with Mr. Art Veerasammy aveerasammy@st-stanislaus-gy.com who is coordinating the purchase of robotic kits.

Thank You
