On Sunday, May 12 2013, members of the St. Paul Running Club competed in the Sudbury ROCKS 5km Race, Run or Walk for Diabetes. Vice-Principal Tammy Lavalle, Educational Assistant Jennifer Palladino and Teachers Lucie Gautheir and Stacey Vendramin competed along with nine dedicated and energetic students who braved the snow and rain to take part in the race. To raise money for the event, St. Paul held a Spirit Day where students were asked to wear their favourite sports gear to school for the day. The school raised a total of $200.00 to donate to the Canadian Diabetes Association. The Running Club would like to thank the Knights of Columbus Council 6074, Evans Home Hardware and Coniston Guardian Pharmacy for sponsoring and supporting their race efforts. Way to go Panthers!

A huge, heart-felt thank you goes out to Riley and to the wonderful students and staff at St. Paul the Apostle School. Riley visited the hospice on Saturday, March 9th to deliver the donation.

Several children and Mme Wright came to school dressed as centenarians. The afternoon was spent with special guests , moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas. A lot of fun was had at each of the 100th day centres which included:
1) Working as a team to stack 100 plastic cups
2) Roll the dice to 100 game
3) Making a portrait of what they will look like at 100 years old.
4) Making a 100th Day party hat
5) Snack bag of 100 “goodies”.
Students were disappointed to learn that the school year ends before the 200th day. They were looking forward to another big celebration.

St. Paul Students and Residents of Coniston Welcome New Walking Trail
On Friday, October 12th, students from Mme Gautheir’s 5/6 F.I, Mme Roy’s F.I. and Ms. Beneteau’s gr. 7/8 classes had the opportunity to attend the “grand opening” of the Jean Tellier Trail. The two kilometre trail allows pedestrians to walk in a natural setting without motorized vehicles. The trail runs from Edward Street to Rideau Street. The plan is for this trail to grow in the future. It is a way for the community of Coniston to join the trend of making Greater Sudbury a friendly environment for pedestrians of all ages. This project was endorsed by Coniston Community Action Networt (CAN) . The plan is for the St. Paul students to take advantage of the “backyard trail” during DPA.
Cardinals Share Their ‘Goodness’ with the Sudbury Food Bank
The line ‘Teach me goodness’ is an integral part of the St. Charles College motto. This week, the students at the school learned about goodness and shared the fruits of their labour.
The secondary school students, coupled with children in the feeder schools canvassed together for the largest school food drive in the city. The goal was to raise 60 000 cans for the Sudbury Food Bank and the Cardinals surpassed that goal with a new all-time total of 125 080 cans. This is the single biggest contribution in history to the Sudbury Food Bank.
The secondary school has hosted a food drive for twenty-seven years. It is supported by students at St. Bernadette, St. Raphael, Pius XII, St. Andrew, St. David and St Paul and St. John.
St. Paul Gives Big
Wow! St. Paul Catholic Elementary students demonstrated incredible enthusiasm and generosity during the S.C.C. Annual Food Drive Challenge. The goal this year is to collect 60 000 food items for local food banks in order for Mr. Jim Szilva to be let off of the city bus. Our students collected the equivalent of 10 000 cans! This included cash donations and non-perishable food items. The St. Paul Panthers were certainly eager to help out and support this wonderful cause. We couldn’t be any prouder of our students!
