• Please send your child to school with special pancakes if they are not able to eat regular pancakes at our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Breakfast next week. The Knights will not have any allergy friendly pancakes. A big thank you to the St. Patrick’s Knights of Columbus for their generosity in once again hosting this event for our students!
• We will be having our Ash Wednesday Mass next Wednesday. Please come and join us. Following Mass, we will have our annual Hunger Lunch in recognition of the people in our community and world who experience hunger. All students will receive a bun from Cobbs (or a bun from Zena’s for gluten free students). Please pack a snack and water for your children for recess. While we eat our bun, there will be a presentation to students on world hunger and a time for quiet reflection.
• Pink Shirt Day is held nationally on Wednesday, February 26^th, but because it falls on Ash Wednesday, we will have our Kindness Day on Friday. Students are invited to come to school with a pink or any other bright coloured shirt. There will not be a collection this day.
• Mark your calendar for March 6^th at 11:15am for a rare opportunity to listen to and meet “Unstoppable Tracy.” She is an internationally acclaimed TED X speaker, Paralympian, world cup sailing champion, and avid mountain climber who has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro… and did I mention that she is a 4-way amputee?! Tracy has appeared on several TV shows and magazines, including Oprah. Her message is inspirational and I am so happy to host her at our school! She has kindly offered to stop in at our school on her busy speaking tour. We are inviting all parents to attend the assembly – seating will be limited, so please plan to be a bit early. Her website is: https://unstoppabletracy.com/ if you would like to learn a bit more about her.
