Highlights of the Week: Nov. 29 - Dec. 5

 
 

Happy First Sunday of Advent!

THANK YOU

  • to all who brought donations on Friday for flood relief - we raised over $200! This has been given to the parish to help with the migrant workers campaign.

  • to the students who helped sell Advent candles after the Masses this weekend, as well as the Grade 6/7 classes with Mrs. Olivares and Mrs. Choboter for making the candles

  • to the parents who cut branches and assembled Advent wreaths for the school - we will be having our Advent assembly (led by Grade 7, under the direction of Mrs. Choboter and Miss Gillespie) tomorrow

INFORMATION:

  • Repeat from last week: Some people for FISA (Federation of Independent Schools Associations) met with the ministries of Transportation and Education today. We have been asked to encourage you to "show care for [your] fellow citizens by limiting [your] use of fuel". Please consider carpooling where possible; if your children are normally on the bus, but you sometimes drive them, this would be a good time to stick to the bus.

  • We will carefully monitor the weather and roads situation and keep you informed of any effect on school closures as quickly as possible. Stay safe!

  • Some games against other schools were originally scheduled for this week. Please watch for emails canceling or confirming those games.

REMINDERS:

  • FOOD DRIVE NEED OF THE WEEK: pancake mix and syrup

  • If you are coming into the school, please remember to wear a mask!
