Parent Information
Starting a Social Media Conversation - PARENT SESSION May 2nd
Thank you to School Council for arranging this important parent session to be held in May!!
The Parent Session bridges the gap between parent understanding and kids’ behaviour, and doing everything they can to start a positive social media conversation in homes. Participants will learn the scope of online activity of kids in grades 4 to 12, highlighting both the positive and negative. They’ll learn better questions to ask, and come away with tools to lean into conversations about social media use.
Tips and guidelines will be provided so parents can make choices that will protect their kids while allowing them to enjoy the positive aspects of social media. Since most kids have exposure to social media, whether through their own use or through the use of those around them, parents will be able to reinforce good choices at home and allow kids to feel more competent, supported, and confident in their social media use.

Ways I Love My Planet
It is Earth Day this week and we wanted to explore different ways we can show gratitude for our earth! It is good for our mental health when we care for our planet, spend time in nature, and listen to all the sounds around us. This helps us to slow down and be mindful in the present moment.
In this week’s guide, Big Life Journal has created an activity as a celebration of our planet and our commitment to doing the best we can to show love and appreciation for our interstellar home.
Science in Action
Science with the grade 2s learning about volcanoes!!

Faith News
St. Emile Parish
Journey with the Pope
"Let us ask for the grace to accept that gift, to embrace the Sacrament of forgiveness.
And to understand that Confession is not about ourselves and our sins but about God
and his mercy. Let us not confess to abase ourselves, but to be raised up. We, all of us,
need this badly. Like little children who, whenever they fall, need to be picked up by their
fathers, we need this. We, too, fall frequently. And the hand of our Father is ready to set
us on our feet again and to make us keep walking. That sure and trustworthy hand is
Confession. Confession is the sacrament that lifts us up; it does not leave us on the
ground, weeping on the hard stones where we have fallen.”
