St.Charles College Hosts First Ever Powwow!

St. Charles College hosted their first ever powwow in honour of Indigenous Education Week! Powwows are traditionally a gathering of Indigenous Peoples to come together and celebrate with song, dance, food and storytelling.

Many students, teachers and community members from a variety of Sudbury Catholic Schools gathered together on St. Charles College’s football field to participate in traditional dancing and music and feasted on Indigenous inspired cuisine. The students loved the opportunity to learn and celebrate this culture!

“Me to We – Youth in Action” Award Winner visits St. David’s Students to talk about preserving water!

St. David Catholic Elementary School was greeted by “Me to We – Youth in Action” award winner, Autumn Peltier, from Wikwemikong First Nation who visited the Native Language class students.

She and her mother Stephanie talked about her travels around Mother Earth fighting for water, including representing Canada in the Children’s Climate Conference in Sweden, meeting our Prime Minister, and kicking off this year’s Water Walk.
The group then sang Water Song and offered tobacco to the School’s brook, which was named after Autumn. Students enjoyed the discussion and activities and can’t wait until their new friends visit again!

St. Benedict celebrates World Autism Day

To celebrate World Autism Awareness Day, students and staff at St. Benedict C.S.S paid a toonie to dress in blue, donating over $750 to Autism Ontario. As part of their Raise the Flag Campaign, the ASD class baked 350 cookies and handed them out to those showing their support by wearing blue. Members of the school community signed giant puzzle pieces, that are now displayed in the Communication classroom as a visual reminder of the supportive St. Ben’s community they are so fortunate to be a part of.
