Updates from the office
Gathering Circle
Every month our school hosts a Gathering Circle for our First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students. This week on Friday, students are invited to participate in learning about their culture. Some of our Junior High students will be leading the learning. Families of our Indigenous students are welcome to join us, if you are available. Please contact Ms. Nicholson, Ms Jahnavel, or Ms. Karla if you have any questions or would like to join the gathering.
Christmas Hampers🎄
The Christmas season is a time where peace, joy, faith and love are meant to shine bright and bring us together in celebration. At St. Brendan, we know that the Christmas season can also be a time of stress and hardship for families experiencing financial difficulties. It is our sincerest hope that we can assist you and your family as you prepare for Christmas and the holiday season this year. We invite you to reach out to our Family Liaison, Karla Blimke, confidentially if you and your family need support leading up to the Christmas break.
Please contact Karla Blimke, to assist with a referral for Christmas between October 5 and October 30 at 780-237-5165 or karla.blimke@ecsd.net
