The Patriot Report – April 18th, 2019

The Easter Triduum is upon us. It is the high point of the Liturgical year as it teaches us the core meaning of our life and faith. It is our hope and prayer that you are able to make your way to Mass, for it is in the Mass that we experience the love of Christ. May the lessons of the Passion and Resurrection provide each of us with powerful reminders of God’s love. On behalf of the school I wish each of you a very blessed Easter.  

Grade 4 to 7 parents are expected to attend the Sexuality and Your Child talks on April 25th, 2019. The talks will occur in your child’s classroom.

6: 30 pm – Opening Prayer & Intro in the Gym
6:35 pm – Move to Classrooms
6:40 pm – Classroom Sessions
7:30 pm – Session concludes

This is an important part of the curriculum and we need parents to attend these talks. A letter went home previously from Archbishop Miller explaining how important these talks are. We have hired Signal Hill to lead the talks. All parents are expected to attend. Please contact Mr. van der Pauw directly at cvanderpauw@stjude.ca if you have questions or are unable to attend. 

Please ensure you submit the Hot Lunch order forms prior to or on April 26. Thank you

All families should now have their Spring Raffle tickets. The Spring Raffle is our second major fundraiser for the year. We thank you for your support and effort in raising funds that will directly benefit your child’s school. 

We are still accepting applications for Kindergarten and we do have space in some of our other primary classes. If you know of families considering a top rated Catholic education, please direct them to our school. 

Please note that the school calendar does change from time to time. One of the more recent changes is the movement of the OLA track meet from April 30 to May 14. Also is the cancellation of the Spring Concert. We will be have a Spring Drama production on June 6 which students have already started rehearsing for. More information will follow in the coming weeks.

Students at St. Jude School compete in the Finals Badminton Tournament. 

Students have spend much time during Lent learning about the importance of sacrifice and redemption. Our Catholic faith is the foundation for everything we do at St. Jude School.
