Good Afternoon Lions! As part of our School Improvement Plan, one of our goals was to engage students in multiple opportunities to use their voice in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment so that students will use their voice wisely to live their life like Jesus. In this manner, our School Improvement Team has put together a bulletin board where a student-centred learning and inclusive learning environment is displayed! Students fill out and drop off a card at the office, where Mrs. Workman displays the student card to show that child's heritage! Mrs. Capasso also randomly selects a few cards to share over our intercom. In this way, we can all celebrate our heritage and better appreciate each of our strength, and it is amazing to read each of the student stories!

Good Afternoon Lions! As you remember, St. Francis School was treated to an amazing performance by St. Patrick School in their presentation of "The Rainbow Fish". St. Francis students even got a special hello from former alumni of St. Francis School!! As you can see, all of our students thoroughly loved the production, Mrs. Savioli's class even made Rainbow Fish headbands!! And if that wasn't enough, Mrs. Albert and Mrs. Melideo's class even have their own fish - named RAINBOW! Thank you again St. Patrick School - you made our Friday truly FANTASTIC!

Great news - the Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board Kindergarten Portal is now open!!!

Great Job Saints!! It was AMAZING!

Good Morning Lions! We began our Friday with Mrs. Janiec leading us in a Prayer Service about Courage. The prayer service was done virtually, over the intercom, and via our Smartboards. Students were reminded of the value of Courage, and we recognized the courage shown by all those within our community during these challenging times. Thank you to Mrs. Janiec and Mrs. Kuschak for this valuable and timely prayer service!
