Just as a reminder on this International Day for the Elimination of Racism and Discrimination, we will be having student sessions throughout the day today led by Aubrey Noronha aimed at division one and two and this evening we will also be having a session for our parent population. We have already had Aubrey discuss this important message with some of our students earlier this year and he did an amazing job. The parent session will take place at 7:00 p.m. this evening and the Zoom link is below, https://redeemer.zoom.us/j/86166466644

We have a piano in our foyer for students and adults to play. This past week we were entertained by our very own Hayden!

This afternoon our kindergarten through grade two teachers are learning all about nature based education and how it is being implemented in our kindergarten rooms this year. It makes for a great Friday Catholic Learning Community learning opportunity for our teachers.

It was a pretty crazy morning for our grade one and two classes. Those leprechauns did a real number on some of our classes. It will take a little while to clean up after their mayhem this year. The students sure were excited though!

With COVID restrictions eased this month it was great to see our classes be able to once again head to St. James Parish for grade level masses. For March it was our grade two classes that went over for morning mass. #egssfaith

It looks like we had some mischievous visitors in the school last night! Hopefully those leprechauns didn’t do too much damage! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

The students in Mademoiselle Deon’s class were working on our hallway whiteboards in math this morning. They were working to understand the order of operations when tackling an equation. There were some pretty challenging questions and the students did really well.

Come to our School Council meeting tomorrow (either in person or online via Zoom) and see what GrACE has been up to these last few months. The work they do on behalf of Catholic school is so valuable!

Our grade five patrollers have made it through the winter and the school wanted to say thank you for all the hard work they have been doing. What better way to say thanks than with a pizza party! Keep up the great work patrollers!

Our grade three classes have spent time this week making rosaries. What a great way to start Lent! It has also been great to see some volunteers back in the building as well. #egssfaith

Almost 50 boys showed up today for the first practice. There were a lot of smiles and a ton of enthusiasm which was great to see! It should be an amazing month for both our girls and boys as they build their skills and get ready for the tournament at the beginning of April.

Today our grade six girls started their extracurricular basketball. They will be practicing at lunches for the next month and will have an in school tournament at the beginning of April. Tomorrow the boys get started!

Mme. Brisbois and Mlle. Diakow’s class have been working hard putting together their informational text showcase. Students selected a research topic of their choice and looked at the various text features from their non-fiction books to help inform their research. They selected their subtopics and took notes practicing their summarizing reading strategy. Today each class was able to see the final products of both classes and learn from each other as they chose 3 posters to find 3 facts.

This past week, we had Aubrey Noronha come speak to the grade 6s on truth and misconceptions about race. It was an excellent presentation. Stay tuned for more info on a parent night with Aubrey!
