St. Pat's Intermediate Oct. 24-28

Halloween Activities

Students will have the opportunity to dress up in an appropriate costume on Monday, October 31st. We ask that no masks cover the face (make-up is ok) and no replica weapons be utilized. Also, this year, we are banning clown costumes given what has happened in various parts of North America.

Photo Retake Day
Picture retakes for students who missed their first opportunity or who would like a second sitting will occur this Friday, October 28. There is no additional work for parents who would like a retake except to remind their son/daughter to listen for the PA announcement on Friday. The photography team will make a point to review the original and the re-take image with students to ensure that they are getting the exact portrait they want.

Mental Wellness Sessions

In our commitment to the mental well-being of all our students, on Wednesday, October 19, we held some sessions for our grade 8 population (the grade 7's will partake in this opportunity at a later date). Students were able to choose from a variety of life-balancing sessions including running, walking, yoga, baking, hacky sack, visual arts, and dance. This was very successful last year and this year was no different. Here are some photos from some of the morning's activities:
