As our 2026-2027 school year is getting well underway, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our outgoing Parent Council Executive members for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to supporting our school community throughout the past year. Their countless hours of volunteer service, thoughtful leadership, and unwavering support have positively impacted our students, staff, and families. We are truly grateful for all they have done.

We are also pleased to welcome and congratulate our new Parent Advisory Council Executive team. We look forward to working together to continue building a strong and supportive school community.

2026-2027 Parent Council Executive

• Chair: Jessica Walker

• Vice Chair: PJ Barclay

• Treasurer: Teresa Symic

• Secretary: Shantel Dey

Thank you to all parents and guardians who came to our AGM meeting and who volunteer their time to support our school. Your involvement and feedback helps make our school a wonderful place for students to learn, grow, and thrive. We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to the valuable contributions of our Parent Council. Next meeting is scheduled for October 14th @ 6:00 PM.

Any Junior High students interested in playing volleyball are invited to our open gym time on September 29th and October 2nd at 7:30 am. Students will need to come with appropriate clothing and footwear to participate.

St. Brendan will continue its annual Hispanic Heritage Day celebration, with new activities each year for our students to learn, appreciate, and enjoy!

As part of this year’s celebration, the students in the Spanish program will create a Día de los Muertos altar. Día de los Muertos is a meaningful tradition that honors and remembers loved ones who have passed away while celebrating the love and memories they have left with us.

If your family would like to participate, we invite you to send a photograph of a loved one you would like to remember and honor. Please send the photographs to Señorita Claveria or Señor Garcia by October 27. You can email them to luis.garcia@ecsd.net or marianna.claveria@ecsd.net or send the picture with your child.

Thank you for helping us create a meaningful altar that celebrates the lives and memories of those who are special to our families

If you would like to read to your child's class, please reach out directly to their teacher to arrange a time. You will need to complete a volunteer form, if you have not yet done so this year, before reading to the class. Help your child develop the love for reading by getting into the spirit with us! See the image below for the fun themed days for every day of read in week this year.

We're Running for Terry!

This year, our school fundraising goal is $1,000, and we invite all families to help us reach it! Donations support the Terry Fox Foundation and cancer research across Canada.

Families can make online donations through our school fundraising page:

Donations will be accepted until October 31, so there is plenty of time to support this important cause.

Thank you for helping our students continue Terry's dream of a world without cancer. Together, we can make a difference!
