Families Helping Families: Immaculate School Raises $3,150 for NOFCC

Congratulations to Immaculate Conception School for the remarkable success of its recent Families Helping Families Spring Dance fundraiser!

Held last month at the school in Val Caron, the event brought together families and students for an evening of fun and community spirit. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the fundraising team, the school proudly raised an impressive $3,150 for the Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer.

In a heartwarming display celebrating their efforts, the school recently hosted Dayna Caruso from the Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer at their Gratitude Assembly. During the assembly, members of the Cougar family were delighted to present Dayna with a cheque, symbolizing their community’s collective generosity and hard work toward supporting an important cause that helps families in Northern Ontario.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the fundraising team for their unwavering dedication and to Immaculate’s amazing families for their incredible support. Way to go, Cougars!

Students Create Their Own Space Probe Lander!

Stem Class #3 

Students create their Own Space Probe Lander!

Nicholas Butt, Outreach Coordinator for Let’s Talk Science, lead a group of grades 4-6 students at St. Anne, St. Charles, St. John, Holy Trinity, and Immaculate Conception in both a minds on and hands-on activity about Space Probes. Students learned about the three types of Space Probes: orbiter, interplanetary and the lander. Then, from recycled materials students created their very own Space Probe Lander.

Mrs. Bradley, Grade 5 & 6 Teacher at Immaculate Conception School stated “Students enjoyed exploring ways to stabilize their space probes to be sure they didn’t fall over when hitting the ground.  The engagement and sharing of ideas with each other was amazing!”
