Titans' Times

Throughout this week the students have learned about the Métis culture this week during classroom activities. There has been a focus on language, artwork, and an overall appreciation of the identity of the Métis. We have a percentage of our students that are very proud of their Métis heritage and we are have learned a great deal about the resliency of how the Métis people and culture that is part of our community.

Throughout this week and every day, we are continuing to share this foundational knowledge and creating opportunities to participate in reconciliation activities that teach our students about First Nations, Métis, and Inuit culture and traditions.

Blessings,

Mrs. Kleparchuk, Principal

Mrs. Crowston, Vice Principal

How easy is it for doubts and fears to creep in when preparing to try and/or learn something new? Both inside and outside of school, children are often found in these situations which can be exciting, but also anxiety provoking and you may notice some doubts creeping in.

When your child is feeling anxious or doubtful, it is helpful to remind them that even if things don’t turn out the way they had originally planned, it will be ok.

Rather than being consumed by the “what-ifs'”, by helping your child shift to a “even-if” mindset will provide them the reassurance they need to know that no matter what the outcome is, they will be ok and they can persevere! Tune into Big Life Journal’s episode of ‘Overcoming Anxiety and Doubt’ on Spotify for more information on this topic!

Congrtulations for such a great season Titans Volleyball Teams. The regular season ended on Wednesday afternoon with the last final game, where our Seniors Boys team competed in the Tier II Finals. Congratulations to the Senior Boys and Coach Mr. Runco for winning the game and brining home the banner!! We look forward to next week's annual students vs staff volleyball game.

Thank you so much to all of our coaches: Mr. Kary, Mr. Runco, Mr. Antal, & Mme Lise for your time and dedication for making this volleyball season successful!

The CWL is collecting new socks, mitts, toques, and scarves for all ages. A box will be located at the back of the church. We will be collecting until Dec. 15. Donations will be delivered to Gibbons Family Resources for local families with winter clothing needs.

There is a box outside the school office to add collections items into.

École Citadelle and Legal School collect toys and food for
