Christmas feast celebrated at St. David Catholic School

Each Christmas season, St. David Catholic School teachers and staff members host an annual Christmas Feast for the students in the school. Everyone enjoys a full turkey meal with all the trimmings and wonderful Christmas cheer.
“This is my favourite day of the year,” stated Terri Lynn Lepage, St. David School grade 3 teacher, “everyone enjoys the meal, but even more importantly we all enjoy each others company.”
St. David School would like to take this opportunity to thank all community partners and special community members who have donated so generously to the students of St. David School over the school year, especially during this Christmas season.

Math Games are Alive and Well at St. David School

St. David School hosted a Christmas Math Morning for students and their families to encourage Growth Mindset, specifically in math acquisition. One of the school’s main focuses this year is continued emphasis on promoting a greater collaboration between educators, students and their families. St. David School works closely with families because when there is a trusting, respectful relationship between the home and school, students have a better chance of being successful academically, socially and emotionally.
During the math morning, all parents and family members played fun, educational math games at school the with their children, then were given a Math Bag to take home. The Math Bag was filled with dice, cards and math game instructions as well as other simple math tools that they were encouraged to use at home to support their children build confidence in math.

St. David School runs the Santa Shuffle

The students and staff of St. David Catholic School once again participated in the Salvation Army’s Santa Shuffle and Elf Run. The students and school staff raised funds to support the run. The event assists the Salvation Army support families in need during the Christmas season and throughout the year. All pledges raised for the Santa Shuffle and Elf Run help people in our community who struggle to make ends meet. St. David School raised $634.65 for the Salvation Army.
“The Santa Shuffle is a fantastic way to support those in need during the Christmas season as well as have fun promoting healthy living with our students. Our grade 3 teacher, Terri Lynn Lepage, and other staff members organize an after school running / reading club for the months leading up to the event as a way to train and promote good health through exercise. We are appreciative of all the support and encouragement of our families – and want to thank them for their generous donations. Merry Christmas!” states Lindsay Michel, St. David School FDK teacher.
