Wolf Weekly November 9-20, 2026
Run with the Pack: Weekly News from the Wolves’ Den!
Dear, God
Thank you so much for the nice sunny weather in the summer time. And thank you for keeping my friends and family safe. I hope that everyone that doesn’t have a nice warm house finds somewhere to stay in the times when it's cold outside. I hope everyone in the school gets good good grades and is happy with their options. As it states in Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
In Your name we pray, Amen.

LIVING THE MISSION: FAITH AT THE HEART OF OUR PACK
Faith Fact Friday!
This past Tuesday, November 3, was the feast of one of Red Deer Catholic Schools’ namesakes, St. Martin de Porres! As with almost all Catholic saints, he was quite a human being. Some fun facts about St. Martin: Before turning 13, he started learning medicine as an apprentice to a doctor, later training as a barber-surgeon who performed minor procedures like pulling teeth and bloodletting He refused to eat meat and ran a makeshift veterinary hospital for sick animals. He was even reported to have escorted a line of hundreds of destructive mice out of a convent into a garden with a promise of daily food. He is recognized as the patron saint of mixed-race people, social justice, barbers, public health workers, and street cleaners.

WOLF TRACKS: IMPORTANT NEWS AND UPDATES
STF Expectations
Over the past month, STF administrators visited classrooms across grade levels to share grade-specific expectations, encourage personal growth, and build school culture. Grounded in The Wolfpack Standard, students are challenged daily to embody our school Pillars: Be Joyful, Be Humble, Be Loving, Be Forgiving. Key themes included, but are not limited to: transitioning between classes, respecting our school, keeping hands off, and protecting the dignity of others.
A Huge Thank You!
A huge shout-out and thank you to Lorne Heck and Tryson Energy Services for generously donating their time, equipment, and services to help relocate our school's new seacan to its new location!
The Tryson Energy Services team was on site Friday afternoon after school and did an incredible job getting everything moved. We are extremely grateful for their generosity, hard work, and continued support of St. Francis of Assisi Middle School.
Community support like this makes a tremendous difference, and we are fortunate to have such wonderful people and businesses supporting our WolfPack community!
Thank you, Lorne and Tryson Energy Services!
