Notes from the Office:

This Sunday’s Gospel about the workers in the vineyard teaches us that God loves and values everyone equally. It reminds us that there is always room for every child and family to be welcomed and included in our school community.

We are so deeply grateful for your continued trust and support as partners in your child’s education. This week, let’s focus on being generous with our kindness, patient with one another, and mindful of anyone who might need an extra encouraging word.

Please know that our office doors are always open to you. If you ever need help, have a question, or just need support, we welcome you to stop by. Together, we can make sure every student and family feels valued, supported, and loved.

Hi! My name is Rochelle Holynski, but my favourite name will always be “Miss H!”

I am so excited to be teaching Grade 3/4 at St. Martin’s this year! This school holds such a special place in my heart. I was once a student here, and it’s where my dream of becoming a teacher first began—all thanks to my Grade 1 teacher, who made me fall in love with school. So much so, in fact, that my friends, Baba, and Gido spent the rest of my childhood being forced to play “school” with me!

Since graduating with my Education degree in 2020, I’ve been lucky to spend the past few years substitute teaching here. To now officially be a part of the St. Martin's school family, with a classroom of my own, is a full-circle moment I don't take lightly.

Outside of school, you’ll usually find me with the true love of my life, Zoey (likely in her stroller), spending time with the little ones who made me an honorary aunt, or booking flights with my favourite travel companion—my mom!

I feel incredibly grateful to be your child’s teacher and can’t wait for all the learning, laughter, and memories we’ll make together.
