Parents of Grades 4-9, check your emails for more details about how to access the Alberta Education Assurance, your feedback is important!

The Alberta Education Assurance Survey for students, staff, and parents/guardians of students in grades 4, 7 and 10 (and select students from other grades where there are fewer than 120 students in grades 4, 7 and 10) is currently open, and we encourage you to take the time to complete it. This survey provides valuable feedback to school jurisdictions to better understand what works well and what areas may require focus. Please note this survey differs from the Division Assurance Survey, which you have already completed and will remain open until March 21st. Your time and participation are sincerely appreciated.

February is the month of love, but we wanted to dedicate this month to loving yourself! Self-esteem is how we feel, what we value, and how we perceive ourselves. How we feel about ourselves is influenced by the people in our lives, our beliefs, and our experiences. Learning the acceptance of who we are can begin at a very young age. But how can we build self-esteem in our kids?

The earlier we start teaching children how to love themselves, the stronger their self-esteem will be as they grow older. A person’s self-esteem will never be perfect, but it’s the journey of the ups and downs and learning to accept and love who you are that makes it all worth it.

We can build self-esteem in children by celebrating successes, normalizing mistakes, accepting differences, and sharing feelings in family conversations. Check out these 5 different ways to build self-esteem in kids from Big Life Journal below.

5 Proven Ways to Build Self-Esteem

*Club 60 Roses Breakfast will be this Sunday, March 2nd from 9am-11:30am.

Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools is partnering with Catholic Social Services Sign of Hope to raise funds for the "Care-a-Van" project for the unhoused in Edmonton. The "Care-a-Van" is a new initiative within the Welcome Home program that specifically targets the gap in supports for unhoused individuals in the underserved outer-city of Edmonton. It addresses the basic needs - food, water and clothing - delivered with love.

What makes the "Care-a-Van" unique is its secondary goal to build relationships that allow CSS to connect clients with further resources, such as medical, ID clinics, detox, recovery, employment and housing when they are ready to take the next step towards improving their quality of life. Donations made to this year's Lenten Challenge will go towards the "Care-a-Van" project which helps CSS respond to the urgent needs of these clients and creates the opportunity for sustainable change!

Here is the link to the Greater St. Albert Catholic Lenten Challenge.

Watch for more details next week about the Titans Lenten Service Project.
