Last week, the Sudbury Blue Door Soup Kitchen celebrated 35 years of “opening doors for people in need”. Marymount Marymount Academy has a long-standing partnership with the Blue Door Soup Kitchen – for the past several years, the Grade 9 students have had the opportunity to volunteer there as a way of putting their Religion curriculum into practice through service to others. This year, for the anniversary, Marymount art students contributed by painting this beautiful mural across their interior wall, making it a focal point for the centre. Congratulations Mykenzie Douglas, Shaleigh Wisniewski & Taylor Lapierre-Grignon for all your hard work!

Science and Art Fun at Holy Cross
What happens when Science meets Art? An infusion of beautiful colours! Ms. Visentin’s Grade 2 students at Holy Cross School had an opportunity to experiment by inflating balloons to test whether air takes up space. The children then used the balloons and acrylic paint in order to explore what happens when you mix the primary colours. Amongst the “ahs” of surprise, the results were amazing as the patches of colours melted together and peaked textures were created as students twisted the balloons and applied varying pressure to their paper.
Holy Cross students visit the Art Gallery
Mme Blais- Calloway’s 4/5 FI class and Mlle Henry’s Grade 3 FI’s at The Sudbury Art Gallery on Friday December 9th, 2016. Students explored art concepts and enjoyed every minute! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful resource for learning right here in Sudbury!
Cards will soon see their work on the back of a bus
Three St. Charles College students were presented with 1st place awards in an Action Sudbury poster contest to bring awareness to driving impaired. The students will soon see their posters on the back of city buses. The students each received a $250 gift card to the New Sudbury Shopping Center.
Their Arts teacher, Ms. Christina Thompson says “the poster contest was tied to the media arts unit studied in the grades 9 and 10 visual arts classes.”
St. Anne trio captures Gold
A musical trio of students from St. Anne Catholic School had a lot of success at this year’s Kiwanis Music Festival! The group won a Gold Award for their performance of The Pink Panther, and was invited to perform at the final Kiwanis concert featuring outstanding acts.
Art auction and display
Every class at Holy Cross school prepared a collaborative art project for a silent auction. The projects will be collecting bids all week and the proceeds will be donated to several charities. Students also created individual projects displayed in the gym. Parents and students are invited to visit this beautiful art gallery this week.
