Hockey Rules at St. Mary Catholic School

St. Mary Catholic School recently celebrated Family Literacy Day. The theme for the day was “Hockey Literacy” and students wore their favourite team jerseys. The primary grades rotated from class to class and enjoyed stories and activities geared to hockey. Literacy Day activities ranged from redesigning a hockey book cover to producing hockey cards or creating a hockey jersey. Many thanks to guest readers Mrs. Estelle Scappatura, Trustee for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board and Mr. Roland Muzzatti, Academic Superintendent for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board for volunteering their time to read to the students.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the day judging from their comments such as: “I had a great day and it was fun!”… “It was fun because it was about hockey and I love hockey”…”Hockey Rules!”…”I liked when we got to make a hockey card.”…”Today was the best day ever”… and …”When can we do it again?”

Bishop Carter Catholic Secondary School students attended a Girl’s Against the Boy’s Hockey Game at the Centennial arena in Hanmer as a fundraiser for the school’s athletic department recently.

Students from Bishop Carter’s feeder schools as well as a number of Sudbury Wolves players also participated in the event. The highlight of the evening took place when the students from the feeder schools were actually given the opportunity to play in the game.

It was a highly spirited and eventful day for many Bishop Carter Catholic Secondary School students and staff in the area of Valley East. All of the Bishop Carter athletes were appreciated and given honourable mention. The well planned event also gave Grade 8 students the opportunity to see what high school life can be like.
