Terry Fox Run
Our community did a super job fundraising for the Terry Fox Foundation. We came up short of our $5000 goal but still managed to raise $3600. Students and staff raised money to help support the Foundation as they continue their work to support cancer research. Our run/walk culminated with a high energy assembly that saw each of our homebases decked out in their Catholic Values T-shirts. Our top-fundraising students took turns throwing sponges at our staff members. Thanks to all those who helped organize and support this very important event.
Christian Community Day
On Friday staff gathered at the Shaw Centre for Christian Community Day. This year we listened to our Director of Education, Denise Andre, set direction by reviewing our Board's Deep Learning strategies as well as heard various schools speak about important happenings at their sites. We then celebrated mass with our most Reverend Archbishop Terrence Prendergast, S.J. As in years' past, it was a very fulfilling day and experience.
As we enter October, I do not know where September went. Things really do move quickly in this wonderful St. Pat's Intermediate family of ours. That said, I wish everyone in our community a very joyous and happy Thanksgiving. We live in one of the best countries in the world and have much to be thankful for.
