Feeding the hungry
As part of the Catholic Education Week celebrations at St. Paul School, Mme Lawrence’s grade 5-6 French Immersion class assisted those who are less fortunate by making over 160 handmade sandwiches for the Elgin Street Mission.

St. Charles College Choir Scores Special Award of Distinction at Kiwanis
Congratulations to our students who performed at the 71st annual Kiwanis Festival and walked away with a special award of distinction.
Ms. Shannon Coyle’s concert choir finished with a gold, as well as receiving a performance award at the Kiwanis Stars of Excellence concert. The Chrissie Nemis award was named after a Sudbury singer who had the voice of an angel and used her gift of singing to enhance the lives of others.
Ms. Coyle says “Chrissie’s life was about music, family and faith and this is exactly the elements that we try to instill in our students at St. Charles College.”
St. David School Celebrates Earth Day 2016
The students and staff at St. David Catholic School recognized this year’s Earth Day by “wild flower bombing” the new school site. St. David Catholic School will be moving to a brand new school in September 2016. The new school is located at 549 Frood Road, just a block away from their current school.
Teachers, students and staff members created wild flower bombs to prepare for the Earth Day celebration. Recycled paper, water and flowers seeds were mixed together to create “flower bombs”, then students and staff walked to the new school site to throw their “wild flower bombs” around exterior of the school site.
“We are excited to move to the new school and want to have a hand in creating a beautiful, welcoming school culture. This was a simple, fun way to contribute to the development of a natural setting around the school. We had fun creating the “wild flower bombs” and we had fun walking to the new site and throwing our creations. Now we patiently wait until September to move in.” stated Nancy Costanzi, St. David School Resource teacher.
