International Day of Pink
Students at BACCSS wore pink today to raise awareness againstt Bullying, Discrimination, Homophobia, Transphobia, and Transmisogyny across the world. GAB members set up an information booth at lunch to encourage students to enter their poster/video contest aimed at educating students about the different ways we can prevent bullying as a school. The contest runs until the end of April.
St. Francis Flames Wear Yellow for Daffodil Campaign
St. Francis students and staff wore yellow to kick off the start of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Campaign in April. The daffodil is a symbol of strength and courage in the fight againstt cancer. Since the 1950s, bright yellow daffodils have arrived in communities across Canada to mark the beginning of Daffodil Month in April. Yellow daffodil stickers were worn at the elementary school to show support for Canadians living with cancer. A cheque for $502.00 was presented to Ms. Burns and Ms. Crispo from the Canadian Cancer Society who graciously attended the school’s assembly to speak to students. The cheque was presented on behalf of the families, students and staff of St. Francis School who made the donation possible. Cancer has touched many of the St. Francis families, friends, staff and even students in some way. The school’s event organizer for the Daffodil Campaign, Ms. Graziella Visentin, was thrilled with the support shown by the school’s families, students and staff for this worthwhile cause. By sharing of ourselves and helping those around us, we are, in essence, practising Christian stewardship, which is the school’s virtue for the month of April. Each year the amount raised increases and the school hopes to continue with this beneficial fundraiser to help cancer patients in our community.

SCC students dissect owl pellets
The grade ten enriched science students at St. Charles College dissected owl pellets as part of their scientific studies. Owl pellets are like giant hair balls that an owl spits up.
Science teacher Mr. Kingshott says “owls eat their prey whole and then regurgitate anything that it cannot digest”.
These owl pellets were supplied by owls from Washington state.
The students then took the animals pieces from the pellets to try and rebuild skeletons using diagrams of typical owl prey like moles, voles, mice and birds.
Makerspace visits Immaculate Conception
On Monday April 4th, the FDK and Grade 1 classrooms at Immaculate Conception School in Val Caron welcomed into their classes the Greater Sudbury Public Library Makerspace Program. Mrs. Marcil, Mme Martin, MmeLafond and Mme Mundy have been integrating a variety of STEM activities to further promote student engagement. They explored Squishy Circuits and had the opportunity to collaborate with their peers while practicing problem solving and patterning. The students had so much fun and they look forward to welcoming the Makerspace Program again in the near future.
