National Cupcake Day is celebrated on February 27. This day is a great opportunity to gain awareness for the SPCA and the Humane Society and the good work they do to prevent cruelty to animals in our community. Mrs. Brenda Jack, a St. David School educational assistant, generously baked over 230 cupcakes for the staff and students at St. David Catholic School. “The cupcakes were delicious. It is nice to work with such dedicated and conscientious staff members.” stated Kacey Boulrice, Mrs. Jack’s co-worker.
According to the SPCA, they encourage everyone to… “Fight cruelty with cupcakes and “bake” a difference for animals!”
St. David School invites youth to talk about mental health
After hearing about the United Way and Sudbury Wolves partnership to support youth in our community, St. David School students had the opportunity to meet “Howler” from the Sudbury Wolves. St. David School would like to thank the Sudbury Wolves and United Way for partnering to support the youth in our community and allowing the school to be a small part of such a worthwhile, innovative initiative. “The students at St. David School love the Sudbury Wolves and when they attach themselves to supporting youth in our community it makes us all proud”, stated Maria Cimino, St. David School grade 1 teacher.
During the school visit, Sudbury Wolves tickets were given to kindergarten student Ava Demefroff and her family by Dario Zurich. Again thank you for your contribution to our community!
PINK Shirt Day at St. David School
During the month of February, St. David School students and staff celebrate the value of compassion. Students learn that compassion is the ability not only to empathize with another person but also to act on their behalf. On PINK Shirt Day, students and staff wore pink shirts to demonstrate their commitment to building friendship skills, acting with kindness and acknowledging their commitment to the acceptance of all peoples.
With the support of teachers, support staff, families and community partners, St. David students continue to learn the importance of dedicating themselves to creating a respectful and caring St. David School community.
