Many of our students will be attending the Ottawa 67’s hockey game on Tuesday. A reminder that students attending should be in uniform, and there will be no cafeteria service at the school for those not attending (please pack a lunch from home on this day).
Our thoughts and prayers remain with the people of the Philippines following the tragic events in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan. In addition to the information I shared from the Catholic Diocese of Ottawa, St. Patrick’s will be running a fundraiser to help support relief efforts. Students will be selling lollipops with all of the proceeds being given to a charity supporting Filipino need.
Have a great week!
