Dear WSCSS Educators - With just over a week left to register for STUDY
CANADA, I wanted to draw your attention to the $300 scholarship being
offered to a participating Pacific Northwest teacher by the Canada-America
Society in Seattle, a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting
Canadian culture, commerce and collegiate interests in the region.  The
application is included in this email - just fill it out and email back to
the Melissa Richardson at sam_mel at yahoo.com<mailto:sam_mel at yahoo.com>.

Of course, all WA State registrants are also guaranteed an additional $150
for receipted travel costs to join us in Vancouver, BC on June 21.  There
are teachers from across the country (and even Australia) attending this

are only five spaces still available in the program!
