Marymount School Comes Together to Kick Off Annual Canned Food Drive

Posted on October 11, 2019October 11, 2019 by Carlee Vendramin

Marymount staff and students came together as a school community to celebrate and give thanks in the first annual Thanksgiving Luncheon. The event highlighted an awards ceremony for past and present students and served as the initial launch of our canned food drive in support of the Sudbury Food Bank. All students and staff enjoyed a catered lunch by Regency Bakery for the low price of a non-perishable food item.

“What a great opportunity for our Marymount community to come together, break bread and make new memories,” said Lori Holden, Principal of Marymount Academy. “It is also a beautiful way to kick off our annual canned food drive, with every student donating to an amazing cause.”

As the Marymount Food Drive ramps up, students may be visible within our community, and we encourage community members to give generously to those in need.

St. Benedict students show solidarity for those in the world dealing with forced migration

Posted on June 3, 2019June 3, 2019 by Carlee Vendramin

This past week, students in grade 10 classes walked to Mallard’s Landing to show support in ending forced migration of people. The students enjoyed a beautiful nature walk, something forced migrants don’t get a chance to enjoy when they are fleeing wars, persecution, natural disasters or extreme poverty.

The proceeds from this dress down day will go to support Development and Peace, a Catholic organization that works to promote this cause. The effort was part of the “Share the Journey” campaign that Pope Francis launched in 2017 to show solidarity for forced migrants.

More than five hundred dollars was collected for the charitable organization.The students also completed postcards that will be forwarded to Parliament Hill. So far more than 10 thousand of these postcards have been sent to Ottawa addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Way to go Bears!We stand in solidarity with 68.5 million children, women and men who have been forced to flee their homes.
