St. Michael Student Becomes Published Poet

Posted on May 4, 2010August 23, 2018 by admin

Congratulations to Alicia Cunningham Dunlop in Junior Kindergarten at St. Michael School. Alicia won the provincial OECTA Young Authors Award. It is a great honour for Alicia and for St. Michael School!
The provincial winners will be published in a commemorative book that will be distributed to all Catholic schools and all main branches of the public libraries.
Alicia’s poem is titled “My Butterfly”.

My Butterfly
My butterfly was orange
it had two wings
it flew to my house
it sat on a flower
I watched it for one hour
then it flew away
I hope it comes back some day!

SCDSB rock bank Heroes was invited to kick off Children’s Mental Health Week (May 2 – May 9, 2010) at Tom Davies Square on May 3, 2010. The band members are comprised of students from Pius XII and St. Charles College and are under the direction of Pius XII Principal Luisa Bianchin and produced by Derek Zaher (educational assistant at Pius XII). The theme of Children’s Mental Health Week this year is “Bouncing Back” and Mayor John Rodriguez opened the event with a proclamation ceremony. Immediately following this, Cassandra Bazinet – lead vocalist of the band performed the opening song with Liza Rizzardi, a grade 2 student from Corpus Christi Catholic Elementary School and finished to a standing ovation. The band then performed a set of 8 songs that had the crowd clapping and moving to the music. Heroes will be the opening band for the SCDSB board wide Faith Day on May 27 and the students are quite excited for this huge event. “Today was good practice for the band to get ready for the Faith day.” said Principal Louisa Bianchin. “The band has been working so hard – usually three times a week and they are quite excited as the board wide Faith Day will be an amazing opportunity to perform in front of thousands of people!”

Chapters gave St. Benedict students special treatment when they opened their doors a little early for the Book Club members. After a brief ‘book talk’ about the latest and top selling teen fiction, students were eager to spend time wandering the aisles, perusing their favourite genres of literature, and making a purchase or two to take home with them. Then it was back to school for the afternoon.

Elementary students from the Sudbury Catholic District School Board spelled their way to the Championship at the Catholic Principals’ Council of Ontario ( C.P.C.O. -Sudbury Chapter) Spelling Bee on April 21, 2010. Every two years, the C.P.C.O. sponsors this event and the Sudbury Catholic students have the opportunity to compete for the title of Spelling Bee Champion. In order to qualify for this event, each school participated in their own spelling bees and a semi-final competition was held in early April. The students that placed in the top three then qualified to compete in the final event. At the end of the night, the students that claimed the title of top spellers were Kaedan Cronk (Grade 7, St. Paul Catholic Elementary School) for the Intermediate Division and Kamilla Kowal (Grade 6, St. Michael Catholic Elementary School) for the Junior Division.
The Sudbury Catholic District School Board wishes to congratulate all of the participants for their excellent spelling efforts!

St. Mary Students Make the Most of Earth Day

Posted on April 22, 2010August 23, 2018 by admin

St. Mary Catholic School students celebrated Earth Day by cleaning debris and picking up garbage along Lakeshore Street in Capreol..They filled 39 bags, some pieces of wood, collected several discarded large items and even found a bicycle! The Vermillion River area by the beach looks so much cleaner. Even the Canada geese came for a visit and honked their appreciation. Upon their return to school students created chalk Earth Day messages in the school yard.
