Grade 7 Confirmation
2024-11-20 18:30 - 20:00
Confirmation

It is the second of the three sacraments of initiation because, historically, it was administered immediately after the Sacrament of Baptism. Confirmation perfects our baptism and brings us the graces of the Holy Spirit that were granted to the Apostles on Pentecost Sunday. Confirmation seals our life of faith in Jesus. Its signs are the laying on of hands on a person’s head, most often by a Bishop, and the anointing with oil.

Our Grade 7 Confirmation is Wednesday, November 20 at Blessed Sacrament Church in Burford.

Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week
2024-11-18 - 2024-11-24
Bullying Prevention and Awareness Week is dedicated to promoting safer schools and positive learning environments. Staff and students will be involved in a variety of activities that reinforce the importance of a positive school climate and learning about ways healthy relationships can greatly affect the learning community. Parents and Caregivers in our Catholic community play a vital role in Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week. It is an opportunity to embrace our Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board theme, “Pilgrims of Hope” by honouring human dignity, by caring for creation, by responding to the poverties in our world, by serving in solidarity, and by living as peacemakers.

Parents/caregivers are encouraged to continue to learn and raise awareness of bullying and cyberbullying and work towards prevention. Keep in mind children and youth may be reluctant or unsure how to talk about bullying.
Here are some signs to look out for:
• complaining of being sick on school days
• having disrupted sleeping or eating habits
• not joining social events with other students
• acting differently than they normally do
• seeming distressed after phone, text or social media contact with others
• suddenly losing money or personal items
• coming home with torn clothes or broken possessions

We all have a responsibility to stop bullying. We encourage everyone – students, parents, guardians, caregivers and educators – to get involved with bullying prevention.

Remembrance Day 2024
2024-11-11
Remember The Brave Canadian War Veterans

Once upon a time, in a small town in Ontario, the streets were filled with people waving flags and wearing red poppies. It was Remembrance Day, a day to honour the brave Canadian war veterans. The children were eager to see the parade marching down the street, led by veterans wearing their uniforms with pride.
After the parade, the veterans gathered in the town square to share their stories. They talked about their time in the war, the friends they had made, and the challenges they had faced. The children listened intently, amazed by the bravery and courage of the veterans.

As the clock struck 11:00 a.m., the people fell silent for a moment of remembrance. The children stood with the veterans, while listening to the trumpet as “The Last Post’ rang out, promising to never forget the sacrifices that had been made. And as they stood in silence, they knew that the brave Canadian war veterans would always be remembered in their hearts.
Lest We Forget

Hallowe’en Dance
2024-10-31
We will be hosting a Hallowe’en dance in the gym for all classes on October 31st. The students will
have a schedule for the dance times during school hours. All students in Grades JK – 8 will participate.
Popcorn will be available for $2 per bag, with proceeds going to our Camp Celtic trip in the spring.
Children are to wear their costumes to school. Costumes must not conflict with our Catholic
values. Costumes are to be modest and school appropriate. No blood or gore are to be worn at
school. Violent accessories such as knives, guns, spears, and swords are not permitted at school.
Masks will not be worn at school, since the mask may obstruct the student’s ability to see.
Following the dance, students will return to their classrooms for class activities.
If you are sending treats for the class they must be store bought and nut free. Please let the teacher know if
your child has any food restrictions.
