Students at St. Paul School are learning about how they, as members of a Catholic community, are called to help those who are vulnerable. On September 19th, a powerful earthquake hit Mexico leaving hundreds of casualties and destroyed cities and towns. Students in Mme Wright’s grade 3 FI and Mrs. Blinn’s grade 3 / 4 Reg classes held a very successful bake sale on Thursday, October 5th. They ended up raising $420 for the Canadian Red Cross : Mexico Earthquake Appeal to help with the relief efforts. Well done children!

St. Paul students join City-wide Read Aloud for a day of reading and learning!
On Tuesday May 2nd, students in Mme Lisa Wright’s Grade 2 class at St. Paul School participated in a City-Wide TD Read Aloud. The class joined Reading Town Sudbury and the Greater Sudbury Public Library for the event. Each student received a free copy of Small Saul by Canadian author, Ashley Spires.
They thoroughly enjoyed the read aloud and look forward to delving deeper into the life lessons the book shares. Here are the students, showing their favourite part of the story. They are so excited to own these new books and to house them in their classroom book boxes for a little while before bringing them home to share with family.

The sky is the limit for canned food collecting at St. Charles College
Since the mid eighties, St. Charles College student council has been organizing a fall food drive in support of the Sudbury Food Bank. Every year it just gets better and better.
The students were given the task of collecting sixty thousand cans this year. Teacher leaders Paola Gutscher and Bev Belanger were happy to report that the students smashed their goal with raising more than 126 thousand cans. Year after year, it has become the largest single donation to the Sudbury Food Bank warehouse.
The leadership students cannot do this alone. It is supported by all the 7-12 students at St. Charles College along with feeder schools — Holy Trinity, St. Paul, St. John, St. David and Pius.
The wrap-up event today highlighted the accomplishments of the students but also the staff had to hold up its end of the bargain complete with staff pie in the face showdowns, shaved heads, dyed heads and waxed legs.
Principal Patty Mardero says it is also important to recognize the citizens of Sudbury who graciously donated to the drive when the students knocked upon their doors. The food collected over the course of the last week was delivered to the Sudbury Food Bank warehouse today. Mardero says “This visit to the warehouse to unload is critical in helping students see the fruits of their labour as they lift each box of canned food and fill the shelves of the warehouse”.
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. By helping those in need, the students showed a great example of stewardship and servant leadership. Mme Lawrence is very proud of her students who collectively completed their classroom mission to make their community a better place. The Elgin Street Mission served their handmade sandwiches that evening.
