Hispanic Heritage Month Prayer:

Dreams That Guide Us:

Loving God, You plant dreams in every heart.

Thank You for calling us to grow in wisdom and love.

Help us to follow the example of Our Lady of Guadalupe,

who brought hope to those who felt unseen.

May we never stop believing in the dreams You give us.

Amen.

Altar Servers: We are pleased to introduce our newly trained altar servers: Carlos R, Alexander V, and Ethan P, whose dedication reflects our community's spirit. Trained by clergy and older servers, they exemplify our shared commitment. We appreciate their service, and we thank them for enriching our Mass.

Safety: Important Reminder about Thursday Church Masses.

• Parents who bring their children to Mass should understand that their children are under their parental supervision until they transition to the homeroom teacher's care.
• Teachers take roll before Mass.
• Students who are late to school on Mass days miss minutes of the Religion instruction.

Nurse's Office:

• OHIP: The dentists who visit our school to provide care will be coming this fall. Students who want to begin receiving these services must complete the form and return it to Nurse Grace as soon as possible. Here is the link: https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/v/bcsdohip2021/
• Reminder that students are NOT allowed to have medications on them or in their bookbags. If your child needs medication at school, please see Nurse Grace for information. (All medications require the written authorization of a parent as well as the healthcare provider)

Uniforms: As the weather gets colder, please ensure your child wears an outdoor jacket to school. We will go outside for recess every day, unless the weather is severe or the temperature drops below 32°.

Please continue to send students in the correct uniform each day. If you need any uniform item for your child, reach out to Ms. A.

Please label all uniform items, outerwear, and other belongings clearly with the student's name.

Scholastic Book Fair: Our book fair will take place from October 12th to October 16th. During this time, students can bring money to purchase books and other items at designated class times.

Look out for more information on when parents can come in to shop.
