Our class won a prize!

I received this email today from the University of Guelph:

"We are pleased to announce the winners of our Fall 2015 #SMTPselfie contest!

Thank you to all who entered, we had some great entries this program! The winners for the #SMTPselfie contest will receive a Life Scanner Kit  which will essentially allow them to DNA barcode 4 organisms of their choice and find out what species they are!

Currently these kits are being offered for free for first time users + shipping online at the above mentioned link, so be sure to sign your class up for one!
And without further ado...the winners of the Fall 2015 #SMTPselfie contest are:


1) Brooksbank Elementary School - BC"

Last year I applied to do the Malaise Trap Biodiversity program and didn't get my class accepted, so when the chance came around this year, I applied again. We had a lot of fun collecting bugs back in September and early October. We'll hear the results in December, but in the meantime, we were one of 5 schools singled out, out of a total of 80 schools across Canada! Lucky us!
