I would like to take this opportunity to extend a Happy New Year to all of you in our St. Patrick’s community. I hope that the Christmas holidays provided you with an opportunity to relax and spend some time with family and friends. All of us at St. Patrick's look forward to working with our stakeholders in 2017.
St. Patrick’s Christmas Hampers
We recognize that our strength as a school community can be seen when we work together with good intentions in mind. This quality was at the forefront of our Christmas Hamper initiative this December. All of our grade 7 and 8 classes, as well as staff and members of our School Council, came together to contribute Christmas packages for those in our community who might not otherwise have food and gifts during the holidays. The amount of goods contributed was overwhelming. A big thank you to all who participated in any way they could.
Drawings for New SPH Addition
Here is a link to the architectural drawings for the new addition at SPH, which we will move into in September, 2018. Please be aware that there have already been a few minor alterations to these as the drawings may be subject to change. Nonetheless, in the spirit of transparency, here is what is available thus far:
Just prior to the Christmas Break, our Guys' Read Club experienced a lunch outing at Kelsey's and then were presented with a book from Chapters. This club began a few years ago to promote reading for boys, as research shows that boys read much less than girls at the intermediate grade levels. Our Guys' Read Club has proven to be extremely popular and successful, so much so that our girls would like to form a similar club, something we are seriously looking at for the near future. It is becoming very clear that our students at St. Pat's Intermediate love to read!
