St. Francis Weekly Email Feb 26 to Mar 1

Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families,
 
Prayer
God of the hungry times, God of the difficult times,
God of all the times of our lives, we need to talk.
Sometimes it’s difficult to understand the direction we need to go.
With all the choices we have in our lives, sometimes we’re not sure
when to say “yes,” or when to say “no.”
So we ask for your guidance. We ask for wisdom. We ask for Spirit.
In our worship, in our work, in our choices, in our lives.
May it be so, loving God!
Amen.
 
Grade 9 into 10 Parent Information Night
We will be hosting a meeting – in person and on zoom – this evening at 6:30 pm for all parents and students who will be entering Grade 10 next school year. Grade 9 students and parents should have received an email invitation with the zoom link.
 
Pink Shirt Day 
Pink Shirt Day is Wednesday, February 28, 2024. Pink Shirt Day began in 2007 when a student in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. It has now become a national day of anti-bullying across Canada and other countries around the world! Bullying, cyberbullying and harassment jeopardize learning and can severely impact a child’s mental, emotional and physical health. On Wednesday, St. Francis students and staff are encouraged to wear pink to signify the stand against bullying. For additional support, please see the resources in the following links: 

• For Parents https://www.pinkshirtday.ca/support-for-parents-teachers.  
• For Youth https://www.pinkshirtday.ca/support-for-youth.  

 
Please do not hesitate to call the school at 667-5901 if you have any questions or concerns.
 
Blessings,
The St. Francis of Assisi Admin Team,
Alethea Wallace, Principal and Mia Ouellette, Vice-Principal
