During this month we will celebrate the virtue of fairness.

Fairness…is the ability to be open-minded and act in a just and fair way. Fairness allows us to treat others with mercy and compassion -- to feel and act with and for another person. God makes us to live together as a family in creation, to share and to help each other. Being Christian is all about living together in community-ideally, one big happy family. Jesus spent a major part of his time on earth showing us how to care for people in need. He spent a lot of time showing us how to follow God's rules. Everyone needs a FAIR chance to succeed--to overcome their disadvantages and disabilities. A fair team player makes sure the rules of the game give everyone an even chance to participate. Not everyone has to win. Everyone deserves a chance to be in the game.

“Fair doesn't mean giving every child the same thing, it means giving every child what they need.”

~Rick Lavoie

A FAIR person…

† takes turns, and shares

† listens to both sides of the story

† plays by the rules

† takes only his or her portion

† treats others equally

† treats others as they would like to be treated

† asks themselves: W.W.J.D. (What Would Jesus Do)?

† works to bring about peaceful solutions to problems.

† cheers on the successes of others.

Congratulations to all track team members for their commitment and hard work. We thank the teachers who spent so much time working with our athletes this year – Ms. Johnston, Mrs. Gabriele, Mr. Da Silva, Mr. Cavaliere, Mrs. Finch, and Ms. Wolczyk. Your time and effort are very much appreciated. A special thank you to our parents who helped with the track and field practices, volunteered at the events and supervised students at the meets. Thank you!

Next week, staff from "Praise Team" will be joining our gym classes to teach dance to all of the Grades. The classes will each learn their own number which they will share with one another on Friday, June 13th.

We would love to share our efforts with you, so we will host a special assembly on Friday, June 13th at 2 PM in the gym for the students to showcase their dances.

Please be reminded that the following deposits are forthcoming:

June 16 - Grade 7 year end outing fee

June 16 - ASC Pro-D day camp (EFT)

Please help us restock the shelves!

If you have any school library books at home, please return them before the summer break. All lost or damaged books will need to be paid for. Thank you.

We are thrilled to announce that St. Michael’s will be hosting a Disney Fun Day! Get ready for a magical morning filled with fun, teamwork, and imagination.

Date: Wednesday, June 19

Time: 8:40 AM – 1:00 PM

Our amazing Grade 7 students will be stepping into the roles of “Disney hosts,” planning and leading a variety of activity stations inspired by the fun and spirit of classic Disney adventures. Each child will be part of a colour team and we encourage everyone to dress in their team’s colour to show their spirit! Your child's teacher has sent a separate email with this information.

Two healthy snacks will be provided by the school, along with a hot dog lunch. Students are welcome to bring additional snacks if they wish. Please make sure your child brings a water bottle and is dressed for the weather—rain or shine, the magic must go on!

The day begins with a Kickoff Celebration at 8:50 AM and wraps up with a Magical Farewell at 11:45AM, including a special “Little Kids’ Race” that’s sure to bring smiles! Families are warmly invited to attend and cheer on our Disney heroes-in-training.

After the festivities, students will return to their classrooms and be dismissed at 1:00PM.

We can't wait to celebrate a day full of laughter, friendship, and a little Disney magic!

With joy,

The Fun Day Committee

Your child's Learning Update will be distributed on June 26th.

Please be reminded that NO report card will be handed out before the scheduled date. There are three options available to families who are away from the school when report cards are distributed:

3) a parent can wait until the child returns to school to obtain the report card.
