We come to the end of another “short” week. Today our Grade 6 class led us in a beautiful Remembrance Day ceremony which had the theme of “Never Forgetting” the sacrifices that many have made for our freedom.
Sincerely in Christ, Miss Welsh

NEWS FOR THE WEEK
PANCAKE BREAKFAST RETURNS
Our first pancake breakfast of the school year is coming up on Sunday, November 27. Our school choir will be singing at the 10:30 am Mass, and the breakfast will be served both after the 10:30 am and 12:30 pm masses. This is a great way to bring our school community together and enjoy some time with other parishioners too! A form to pre-purchase your tickets went home earlier this week; can’t find it? Click HERE or on the picture of the pancake to get a link to the form. It is due back by the end of the day on November 17 and tickets will be sent home with your children early the following week. All details are on the form. We hope to see you there!
