Dear Parents,
As we continue our journey towards Easter, by remembering the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus during these next three days. I pray that we will find time to join in on the Masses celebrated in our Parish, at least virtually. Our classes have been discussing the importance of the Triduum and the many traditions that were instituted by Jesus or came about because of His sacrifice for us. It would be wonderful if the students had an opportunity to have a better understanding by experiencing a Mass or the Good Friday Service.
I want to take the opportunity on behalf of the QAS Staff to wish all of our families a very Happy Easter. May all feel the love of Jesus and know that he is with us always.
God Bless,
Miss Sandberg

A Message From Fraser Health Re: Immunizations for school-aged children
– The immunization program will resume for school-aged children this year.
– To start, public health staff will contact families of students currently in Grade 7 who missed their immunizations during the 2019-2020 school year, due to COVID-19. These students will be offered appointments during the spring and summer.
– Immunization information for Kindergarten and Grade 6 students from the 2020-2021 school year will be provided at a future date.
MITE BOXES
Thank you to all children for filling your mite boxes in support of our seminarians. Some children have been doing extra chores at home as a way to earn money for this. It’s a great way to practice alms-giving with children during lent. Please return all mite boxes after Easter.

The next school year (2021/22) will be Mrs. Lando’s last year at QAS and so we will need to find a replacement to coordinate the Hot Foods program.
