Click the link above to listen to our new board spiritual theme song. It was beautifully written by Janet Bentham our Religious Education consultant. The students love singing along to it. It is a calming song that definitely restores the mind and spirit. Enjoy!
Thank you to all parents and students who donated to our We Make Change Lenten project. 3A purchased one goat and this past Thursday we joined with Mrs.Smith's grade 3 class to purchase another goat. We decided to put our money together to buy another goat for a family in need. We're so proud of the students for joining together in Faith for a wonderful cause!m Collaboration at its best!
Check out the Celebrating Our Learning section of our website to read some samples of the wonderful and thoughtful prayers students wrote. Students enjoy being the author's of their own prayers!
We are raising money in our classrooms to purchase goats for families overseas as our Lenten Catholic outreach project. Each goat costs fifty dollars. As a class we would like to raise enough money to purchase a goat. Students are encouraged to do some extra chores during Lent to earn some spare change to donate to this worthy Lenten project. Thank you for supporting us with our goal to buy one goat!
Throughout the month of February, students will hear about and pray for children from different parts of the world through this wonderful resource- All God's Children. Last week we prayed for Yena from Ghana. Students agreed that praying for our brothers and sisters is one of many ways to act out the Gospel Value of Love.
February 16th- Last week we heard the story of Daniel from Haiti and just how different his life is from our own. This week to continue to demonstrate the Gospel Value of Love, we will pray for Daniel and his family. As a school community we are working together to bring hope to families in need this Christmas! Please be sure to send in your child's assigned hamper item and small donation towards a grocery card. Students were excited to choose their hamper item and recognize how they are making Christmas special for another family! Together we make difference and bring Christmas light to those in need!
Also, please have a look around your home for any gently used items that could be re-sold at our school's white elephant sale. Any contributions are appreciated! Thank you to all those who supported Movember by making a donation for a moustache! The students looked amazing in their moustaches! All for a great cause! Our faith grows when we help those in need! We are stars for God when we show our faith through our actions!
