St. Mary's Catholic School

Over the next few weeks, St. Mary's and St. Martin's schools are collaborating through a mentorship program that will benefit children in both schools. The Grade 12 Religion 35 class will be hanging out with children at St. Martin's which will develop leadership and citizenship skills as well as give them compassionate hearts towards service. Activities include reading, writing and numeracy help along with social skill development. We are so thankful for like-minded educational partners in our community!

With the winter season upon us, this is just a reminder that our school doors open daily at 8:00 am. Students who are dropped off before then should be dressed warmly as well students may have activities outside or the school may be put into a position where we have to evacuate the school and students need to be prepared for the winter climate and dressed appropriately. At a minimum, winter attire such as a winter coat, mitts, and toque are essential in case of a school emergency. Students that utilize the bus for field trips during our winter months must have essential winter clothing to be allowed on the bus.

Students are also asked to show good judgment by wearing suitable clothing in accordance with the school policy. It is expected that students' clothing be appropriate to our Catholic school setting. As a Catholic School, we recognize the value of dressing in a manner that reflects the respect shown to ourselves and to others. Clothing with objectionable lettering, cresting, or clothing that is revealing is not consistent with the Catholic philosophy of St. Mary’s Catholic School and will not be allowed to be worn on school property or at school-sponsored events and functions.

Heavenly Father, Lord of All, come and fill this world with your peace. May there be an end to hatred and division among your people. Cease all the fighting and war in this world. Heal the bitterness and hurt in my own heart. In this season of Advent, prepare my heart for the coming of Jesus, our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Fill my heart with your peace which passes all understanding. For of the greatness of his government and peace, there shall be no end. Amen.
