St. Patrick’s Blog Week of October 15th, 2013

St. Patrick’s Blog
Week of October 15th, 2013
            I would like to wish all our parent/guardian community a happy Thanksgiving.
            A number of recap’s from St. Patrick’s events from last week.  First of all, I would like to congratulate our boys and girls rugby teams on their success at their tournaments last week.  Our girls went to the semi-finals, and our boys’ team won the championship! 
Last Wednesday, we had Heather from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) at the school for a presentation.  The students viewed a very compelling video highlighting the tragedy when individuals mix alcohol and driving.  Our students were challenged to bring the message to family and friends.
Our students did a great job fundraising for our Terry Fox initiative.  Together, we raised more than $5000 for the Terry Fox foundation.  Our efforts culminated in our walk on Thursday that had our classes decked out in their homebase colours.  The group looked great!
This Thursday, our grade 8’s will participate in a Skills Canada session as a precursor to our Work for You Too (Wrk4U2) day later in the month.  These opportunities encourage students to begin the discussion of what careers they may be interested in in the future.
This week we will celebrate our rescheduled Thanksgiving Mass with Father Greg.  We are looking forward to celebrating as a school community.  Any parents or guardians who are available on Friday at 10:00 am are welcome to join us. 

Have a great week!

Sean Kelly
