St. Mary Catholic School in Capreol celebrated Pancake Tuesday with students, staff, parents, grandparents, and some special guests – children from the Capreol Child Care Centre, along with students and staff from the St. Albert Adult Learning Centre, both of which are housed in the St. Mary Catholic School building.

Many thanks to those who prepared and served the feast. Pictured serving some of the students is Mr. Barry MacDonald, a Trustee for Sudbury Catholic Schools, and Mrs. Linda Larocque, a parent volunteer for the school.
