Community Clean Up
Following a community meeting this past week, an effort to “clean up the community” was introduced as part of the City’s “Clean up the Capital” initiative.  This particular effort is concentrating on the Cedarwood/Sandalwood/Baycrest area.  The Community clean up will take place on May 29th, and interested individuals are asked to meet at Sandalwood Park from 4:00 to 6:00 pm.  Please see the link to the poster below that provides some additional information.

St. Patrick’s Murder Mystery Cafe School Play
This past week St. Patrick’s Intermediate presented their school play “Murder Mystery Cafe”.  The play featured some strong performances from our students and included an interactive component that involved the audience in the murder investigation.  Congratulations to the play’s director Mr. Leury, who has been working with the students on the production for a number of months.  Great job!

School Innovation Planning for student achievement and wellness (SIPsaw)
A group of staff from St. Patrick’s participated in the Board’s SIPsaw planning date this past week.  This is an opportunity to set academic and student wellness goals for our 2015-2016 school year.  The team focused on initiatives in the areas of faith development, literacy, numeracy and diversity.  Our school is proud of our goal work this year and we look forward to the initiatives for focus next year.  

Rosary Gathering
On May 20th, Ms. Rupert’s Religion class organized a Rosary gathering for the school.  The liturgy included prayer and guided reflection on the meaning of the Rosary, and its connection to many belief traditions.  Thank you to the students who led this opportunity for others.

Arise Dance Group
St. Patrick’s Intermediate hosted the Arise Dance Group from Ottawa this past Friday.  Arise brings its message of caring for one another and respect for ourselves to students through interpretive dance.  We thank the group for their meaningful presentation and organization.  It was an extremely worthwhile way to finish a busy week!
