During
Catholic Education week, we need to count on the faith within us and believe
that our school community will support one another and work together to promote
the faith in others. Hope brings us closer together during these challenging
times and allows us to reflect on what is important in life. During the month
of May we celebrate the virtue of empathy, which allows us to continue to build
relationships with our families and school community partners.
In light of
Catholic Education week, St. David School felt their students should be
recognized and celebrated for their efforts in giving back to their school
community in various ways. The students selected received a $100.00 PC gift
card for their random acts of kindness, leadership and inspiration, which was virtually
displayed on their online learning platforms and social media. These students
ignite hope in their classmates, peers, teachers and families as they display
their sheer motivation to persevere even when times get tough, like this
pandemic crisis we are all facing.I
would like to thank PC Loblaw’s for giving St. David School the flexibility and
opportunity to celebrate our students and families during this difficult time
of Covid-19. I would also like to highlight our Educational Assistants for
making this day possible for our students. Without your genuine care, love and
kindness, this opportunity for giving back would not have happened without you.
Students at Sudbury Catholic Schools participated in a
challenge that was posted by Goshenite Seniors Services to create 500 Mother’s
Day cards for seniors in the Sudbury area.
Not being in a physical classroom didn’t stop Mrs. Cimino
and her Grade 1 students at St. David School from coming together to help Goshenite
Seniors Services.
“It is especially important during these difficult times to
provide students with authentic opportunities for them to act as caring and
responsible citizens,” said Mrs. Cimino.
Milena Raso, a grade 11 student at Marymount Academy is
currently enrolled in the Specialized High Skills Major for Non-Profit
Industry. She too jumped at the opportunity to bring positivity to members of
our community.
“I am very blessed to have my grandmother living with me and
listening to her stories about not having technology and other modern-day
conveniences. It shows me how life has changed. Hearing it first-hand, rather
than from reading it in a textbook makes it much more real to me. I think it’s
important for youth to be more active in caring for our elders and realize that
we have a lot to learn from them,” she explained.
Cards will be sent directly to Goshenite Seniors Services who will distribute
them over the weekend.
