Dear Families
Welcome Back! We hope you all had a wonderful march break. Here are a few items for you to be aware of:
- Booster Juice: to helps offset the cost of Grade 8 Graduation, the students have been selling Dole Whip all year. We are transitioning to Booster Juice for April, May & June. For more information please see school cash online. Our April orders will close on March 28th.
- Lenten Tenets – Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving: We have been focusing on prayer with weekly Lenten Prayer Services. The students all went to confession before the break. Next week will spend time with our last Monday Lenten Prayer Service and the Stations of the Cross led by our Grade 8s. We have been fasting by promoting acts of kindness with two methods of recognizing the acts of kindness – ask your child about these! Lasting, we are promoting a food drive where we wish to fill a van with food and deliver to to St. Vincent de Paul next week. We are collecting non perishable food items: canned meat or fish, canned fruit, peanut butter, jam, cereal, pasta, baby food. We are also collecting personal hygiene items. The Fill a Van Food Drive runs from March 19th through to March 27th. We thank you for your support as we wrap up our Lenten journey this year.
- Rock Your Socks Day: is this Thursday. This is a world wide day for Down Syndrome Awareness and we will be participating by wear our brightest, most colourful, patterned socks this day.
Thank you
Staff and Students of Holy Spirit School
