St. Patrick's Blog
Week of March 3rd, 2014
Our students participated in a dance last week that proved very popular amongst the group. On the same day we encouraged students to wear pink to support anti-bullying initiatives and awareness. While only a one day observance, we would like our student community to continue the efforts they demonstrate around positive behaviour toward one another.
This coming week marks the beginning of the Lenten season in the Catholic Spiritual Calendar. We will encourage students to reflect upon this important time through “Shrove Tuesday” to the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday. We will have a liturgy for all students in the afternoon on Ash Wednesday where we will be marked by the ashes as a demonstration of our penance and as a reminder that we belong to God. As the marking of ashes is Sacramental and not a formal Sacrament in the Catholic Religion, all individuals, irregardless of faith, may participate in the activity. We would invite any parents/guardians to join us at 1:00 on Wednesday for our Liturgy if you are available.
Hopefully we have some parents/guardians from our elementary schools already following us on this Blog. If so, we would like to remind you of our Grade 6 Parent Information Evening this Tuesday at 6:30 in our Cafeteria. We will provide some important information regarding your son/daughter’s transition to St. Patrick’s Intermediate School, introduce you to some of the members of our staff community, and allow some time for students and parents to ask questions.
There are a great deal of activities going on this early spring at the school for students. I would encourage you to scroll down to the bottom of our Blog page to review the St. Pat’s Calendar of Events. 
A reminder to all of our school community that Friday, March 7th is a professional development day and schools are closed for classes. We wish all of the St. Patrick’s community a very safe and restful March Break (from March 10th to 14th). Classes resume again at St. Pat’s on Monday, March 17th - St. Patrick’s Day!
