Principals Message
As we head into the last couple of weeks of Lent, classroom teachers are preparing lessons/activities on the important days and traditions of the Church, that we will be observing soon.
A reminder that we are supporting the RCAV Men’s Hostel that is located downtown and serves hundreds for men each day. Last year, our community was very generous. They are looking forward to our support again. Items that they collect are: toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, socks, gloves, toques, and shampoo. Items may be dropped off in the boxes in the front foyer of the school.
On Holy Thursday, all classes will be participating in our annual retreat. There will be prayer and learning opportunities regarding the Triduum.
