Reading Buddies at St. Gemma

The grade 2 students at St. Gemma got to see how much snow fell in Ottawa by using one of our very tall reading buddies, Reath Muon, as a measuring ruler. Take a look at the photo below.  Our group of grade 7 and 8 readers go to St. Gemma every two weeks to read with grade 2 students.

Sacrament of Reconciliation

Father Greg will be in on Wednesday of this week to hear confessions. Reconciliation is an extremely important sacrament, especially during the season of Lent; hence, we want to ensure students are given the opportunity to go to confession should they choose.

Parent-Teacher Interviews

We had a good turn-out for parent-teacher interviews on Thursday.  Thank you to all who participated and a special thank you to our School Council for providing coffee.
