Dear St. Matthew’s Elementary School Families
We ended this week with our Terry Fox Run Day! Thank you to Mr. Durante and to all the parents who helped organize this fun and important event. Not only did your children learn about a Canadian hero but, also raised money and awareness for cancer research. Thank you to all families for your support.
Next week our focus will be on preparing students to reflect on our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. All families are welcome to join us for our Truth and Reconciliation Assembly, led by our Grade 2 class at 9:00 am.
Sincerely in Christ, Miss Welsh
