At 1 pm on October 10th the students, staff and some parents of St. Andrew Catholic School took part in a Thanksgiving Prayer Service that was led by Mrs. Vervega and her grade 2 class. Everyone was reminded that God’s gifts are countless and His goodness is without limit. We all thanked God for our parents, families, friends, priests and teachers, and all people who try to make things better for us. The children sang songs of praise and gratitude. Everyone was reminded to take some time this weekend to thank God for all His blessings. Pictured are the grade 2 class at St. Andrew School.

St. Bernadette Students Battle it Out
Grade 3 French Immersion students at St. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School battled it out today during a challenging card game of War. Teacher Nancy Perron added a twist to this card game. Not only did students have to win the card game, they also had to compare the numbers that were found on each card as they went along. Applying mathematical language such as ‘plus grand que, plus petit que ou égal à’ allowed students to practice their French language skills while manipulating numbers- all the while having fun playing cards! Integrating play-based learning targets students’ emotional intelligence and allows them to become active, engaged participants in their own learning.
Elementary Food Drive Wraps Up, Just as the St. Charles College Drive Begins
Students who attend St. Paul, St. John, St. David, St. Raphael, St. Andrew, Pius and St. Bernadette Catholic elementary schools have wrapped up their food drive collection efforts. Now the focus is on the students at St. Charles College.
Students from the seven schools spent last week going door-to-door to collect cans and other non-perishable food items to help the Sudbury Food Bank stock its shelves over the cold winter months.
Now the St. Charles College students begin their drive starting with their kick-off next Monday. Every year the high school teams up with Q92 and KISS 105.3 to Stuff a Bus full of food. The radio stations also broadcast live from the school parking lot during the week. The food is then transported to the Sudbury Food Bank warehouse.
Student can collect a combination of canned foods and cash. Last year, they surpassed their goal by collecting more than 112 thousand cans.
The food drive began more than 25 years ago and its founder, former student Jim Szilva still takes part in the drive with his former high school.
Totals will be tabulated, with a wrap-up set for October 23rd.

Holy Cross Cubs Run for the Cure
This year was another great year for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure and none of it would have been possible without all of the teams who ran. 127,000 participants and volunteers came together on Run day and through the support of generous donors raised over $25 million for innovative breast cancer research, health education, and advocacy initiatives throughout Canada.
The Holy Cross Catholic Elementary School community put a team in again this year, and they collected $2374.00 towards this very worthy cause. Only a few of the members of the Holy Cross Cubs who came out for the run are pictured here. It was a great turn out for such a dreary day. Congratulations on helping to make a difference. Go Cubs Go!
