This week, more than 250 prospective students and their families flocked to the St. Benedict Catholic School Open House event. The purpose of the event is to educate parents and their children about the benefits of choosing the school in the fall of 2018 for grade 7 or 9. The students had to complete a “pawport” by visiting different parts of the building to complete activities such as making bathbombs in Science, trying their hand at programming in the Learning Commons and making buttons in the art room.

Before they departed, students were invited to take a parting picture with green screen technology. They posed and then chose traditional or really fun backgrounds for their photos.

Matthew and his family are considered part or our St. Francis FLAMES family, so it was only natural to want to help”, says Principal, Ms. Timpano. A school EA, Mrs. Miscio, came up with the idea of having ‘Mondays for Matthew”, where students brought in change on each Monday in December and all proceeds go to Ronald McDonald house in Toronto. “St. Francis Charity Champs from Mrs. DeAngelis and Mrs. Mallette’s class took the lead and made ‘change cans’ for each classroom. The fundraiser has been a tremendous success! The school has currently raised $1000.00 and continue to collect funds. All funds raised in the month of December are matched by a donor, Michael Higgins. With his contribution, our fundraiser will bring in well over $2000.00 for Ronald McDonald House.”, says Mrs. Miscio. St. Francis students, staff and parents are thrilled to be able to help Matthew and others like him who continue to need life saving treatments away from home.
