Dear Madonna Catholic School Community,
What a wonderful week of learning and community at Madonna Catholic School! We are so grateful for the many opportunities that enrich our students' experiences.
A big thank you to Ms. McAra’s Grade 3 class for leading us in a thoughtful assembly about St. Anthony of Padua. Their presentation reminded us of his devotion to faith and service, inspiring us to reflect on how we can live out these values in our daily lives.
On Wednesday, our staff came together for professional development and collaborative planning. These moments allow us to grow as educators and ensure we continue to support our students in meaningful ways as we move into the second half of the school year.
Thursday was a truly special day as we welcomed Métis musician Brianna Lizotte and her partner Ethan Graves for an engaging presentation on Métis culture. Every student in our school had the opportunity to learn about the Métis people, the significance of the Métis sash, and participate in a traditional jig and wooden spoons lesson. It was a joyful, hands-on experience that deepened our appreciation for Indigenous culture.
We are incredibly blessed to have such rich and creative learning experiences at Madonna Catholic School! Looking ahead, next week will be a shorter one with classes from Monday to Wednesday. Be sure to check your child’s backpack for an exciting reading experience coordinated by our librarian, Mrs. Bonsant—we can’t wait to share more details! Stay tuned, Madonna!
