The Patrioteer – February 7, 2025

PRINCIPAL'S CORNER

February is the shortest month, but it is a month full of great love. As a Catholic School we get to celebrate all the love in our lives through Catholic School’s Week, Valentine’s Day and Kindness Week. 

As we prepare for our Catholic School’s Week next week I am honoured to be one of the educators in our fine system who is able to pour out our love for our students. We will celebrate our Catholic Schools Week and prepare for our Art Show on Wednesday, we are reminded of all the love that is in our community. 

Celebrate the Love in our Community this coming week! 

St. Jude, Pray for us!  

BASKETBALL SEASON

This week we had multiple basketball tournaments and our students shined with their skills and sportsmanship on and off the court. 

Congrats Grade 5 Girls for Second Place at the St. Matthew’s Guardians of the Court Tournament.
