St. Francis Weekly Update - May 12-15

5/12/2025

 
 
Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families, 
 
Prayer 
Dear Jesus, I pray for you and everyone in heaven, I hope that they are just as happy as I am. 
I pray that one day we can all get along and be happy together. 
I pray for people that are not as kind, that they become closer to you and everyone around them. 
I pray for people that have less or nothing that they can still be happy even though they don’t have what they need. 
I’m thankful for what I have and what I will receive in the future. 
I thank you for the people in my life, for the things that I have, the love that I give and receive, and for giving me the chance to love and forgive one another. 
I thank you for my health, so I can live to be a better person everyday. 
Please bless those in need and bless those that are suffering, that they can be healed. 
You are our leader, our savior, our God. You sacrificed your life for us and asked for nothing in return. 
Amen 
 
Yukon Francophonie Day 
Thursday, May 15th is la Journée de la francophonie yukonnaise. This day offers an opportunity to recognize the history and contributions of the Francophone community to the development of the territory. Visit the AFY website for more information.  
 
Support Ukraine 
The UCAY (Ukrainian Canadian Association of Yukon) is having a fundraising event as well as a collection for medicine in the next two weeks. The St. Francis Social Justice Club has presented them with a $320 cheque from a bake sale to be used for support in Ukraine.  If you would like to contribute to the Ukraine Humanitarian Aid Mission, or participate in the Pysanka Fundraising Event, click the links for more information. 
 
Active Commute Month 
SFA is participating in the Active Commute Month Challenge – running from May 1 to May 31, 2025! 
What is Active Commute Month?? It is a fun, team-based competition that encourages students and staff to walk, bike, roll, or bus to school at least three times weekly. Schools can win prizes, earn public recognition, and promote healthy, active habits. It’s different from past challenges and more straightforward for schools to participate. 
How to Get Involved: 
  • Join your school team - or create sub-teams by class or club! – Mark your tally on the sheets provided by Ms. Seymour! 
  • Log your commutes daily or weekly on the challenge website 
  • Track your progress on the live leaderboard 
  • Stop by Support Stations on Wednesday mornings for free snacks and encouragement 
  • Compete for prizes — including a pizza lunch for top teams! 
 Registration is now open at activecommutewhitehorse.ca
