Facility Services On the Move

The Facility Services Department at the Sudbury Catholic District School Board walked into the boardroom on Friday, September 17 to a chorus of cheers and claps as the surprise event marked their last day at the D’Youville location. Board office staff surprised the group with a buffet luncheon to celebrate the department and wish them well as they officially move to 199 Travers Street beginning September 20. Denis Faucher, Manager of Facility Services thanked all for the warm send off and remarked that this was not good-bye – “we are all still part of one family” and invited all to stop by to see the new location.

To contact facility services, the new phone number is (705)-674-1919 or fax (705) 674-7878.

Happy Birthday, Mary, Mother of God

Students and staff at St. Mary Catholic School in Capreol celebrated a special birthday recently – the birthday of Mary, Mother of God. Students participated in a special prayer service which incorporated both the beginning of school and Mary’s birthday. Students and staff prayed for new beginnings, fresh starts and blessings for friends and family. Thanks to Mrs. Nykilchuk for her gift of music as we sang “Hail Mary, Gentle Woman”. After the prayer service, “Happy Birthday” was sung. Trustee Barry MacDonald served birthday cake to all. Happy birthday, Mary.

A New Take on Outdoor Education

In the spirit of the traditional April Fools prank, Mr. MacNeil’s grade 12 history class at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School thought they would play an April Fool’s joke on their teacher by placing all the desks outside before he arrived for class. The tables quickly turned, however, as Mr. MacNeil was quick to turn the joke around on his pupils when, without missing a beat and to their surprise, he began to conduct his lesson outdoors. As the day was beautiful but still a bit chilly, the prank only lasted a few minutes before the students eagerly returned the desks back inside.

Students at St. David Catholic Elementary School were treated to a morning of special guests this past week in honour of Family Literacy Day. Guests were invited into all of the different classrooms to share the joy of reading with the students. Some of the guests included Tony Ryma from CTV news, Constables Ryan MacKay and Grant Dokis, and board staff including Joan Yawney, the Religious Education and Faith Consultant, and Maurizio Visentin who is Head of Guidance at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School. As well, some of the St. David staff invited in their own family to join the school in their reading endevours.
