Nice work today, Christian servers. You led our Terry Fox assembly really well. Today we pray especially for those effected by cancer, that a cure might be found. We look to Terry, Chiara Badano, Zach and all others that shine God's love for us despite their health battles.

How exciting was it to get to meet our grade 2/3 buddies today?? I look forward to some activities with them soon!
Learning the meaning of Juxtaposition was interesting too- I look forward to the finished products of your Mona Lisa pieces!
No new HW today, just the same that has been on the board.

Students, please carefully think about what Mr. Borkowski came and talked to all the grade 7's about today. You are all such a caring and kind bunch of students- let's keep building each other up and helping each other become your best selves! :)
Here is a reminder of the types of behaviours that have been occurring, and that will not be tolerated (Mr. B. has asked that anyone that does such actions be sent immediately to his office so that parents can be called):
Tomorrow is a new day, and I have a feeling it will be a great one!

We are certainly back to reality after our amazing time at Timberline Ranch last week. Getting to know you all and see you enjoy yourselves at camp was a real privilege!
I am looking forward to getting into our proper routine this week. It was great to finally do our religion/socials/science switch today. I am sure you were all delighted to see a new teacher ;)
Band will also be in full swing this week.
I hope the cross country meet went well for the three students that attended. Volleyball and boys soccer are also underway this week.

It was wonderful to chat with our C.C.S. families at our back to school B.B.Q. yesterday!
I think Adoration/Confession today was just what we needed...don't you feel so much better? I know I do!
Many of you will spend your weekends singing the Rattlin' Bog song I am sure....it's just so catchy! I cannot wait to sing it with you all at the campfire at Timberline next week. Please be sure to go over the notice regarding Timberline with your parents.
I am yet to hear from a couple of your parents via email, so if you could kind them to shoot me a quick "hello" email I would appreciate it.
