Dear Crusader families
As we approach the Christmas break, here a a few reminders of upcoming events:
Grade 8 Information Evening at St. Mary’s
The information evening for Grade 8 students and their parents at St. Mary High School is tomorrow evening, December 8, from 6:30 pm.
Grade 2 First Reconciliation
Please keep our Grade 2 students in your prayers as they have their first reconciliation at St. Anthony Daniel Parish, tonight and tomorrow night from 6:30 – 7:30 pm
The Grinch/Christmas Character Day
On Friday, December 9, students are encouraged to dress as The Grinch or as one of their favourite Christmas characters.
Primary Grades Christmas Play
The performances of the Christmas play will be on Thursday, December 15. Parents of students in Kindergarten and Grade 1 are invited to the performance at 10:35 am, and parents of students in Grades 2 – 3/4 are invited to the 2:00 pm performance. Families are encouraged to donate a non-perishable food item for the St. Vincent de Paul Christmas food drive.
Please note that all students in the school will have the opportunity to watch the dress rehearsal, so they will not be excused from class to watch the performances with their parents. We also discourage parents from signing their children out early, but if any parents still wish to do so, they are asked to sign their children out with the classroom teachers, not the office, in order to avoid congestion and long waits at the front office.

Our Grade 4 students will be presented with their Bibles on Friday, December 16th at 1:15 pm
Angel Tree
Donations of unwrapped Christmas gifts will be gratefully accepted up until the morning of Thursday, December 15th, which is when the gifts will be collected. Cash donations can be made up until this time on School Cash Online.
