Better Together at Holy Spirit
September 19 - 23, 2022
Patron Saint of holy spirit
A patron saint is a saint who is called to protect and help us pray for our school community. Our patron saint has a relationship with those living in heaven. Praying to a saint is like asking a friend here on earth to pray for you. Catholics also believe that a saint in heaven has a better connection to Christ, since they are right there with Him.
As a Pre-Kindergarten to grade 4 school a patron saint will be a person that students will be able to learn about, connect to, and help them grow in their pray life.

Student Safety
- Please ensure to give all yellow buses priority as they get students safely to and from school.
- When using the south parking lot please park in the east stalls and use the sidewalk to avoid walking in front of or between the buses.
- Please remember when driving your child to school that the school zone with a speed of 30 kms/hr is from 7:30 am - 4:30 pm.
- Also, we want to work together to ensure everyone is crossing safely within parking lots and on the roads.

School Council
Thank you to our School Council Executive members who connected with so many families at our Meet the Staff event. We would love for all parents to get involved. At the first meeting on Tuesday, September 27 at 6:30 pm the School Council Executive Positions will be appointed. The council is seeking the positions of co-chairs, treasurer, and secretary.
All parents are automatically members of our School Council. Attending the monthly meetings is a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with other parents, teachers and administration to identify and support initiatives that benefit our students, as well as stay informed about what is happening in the school.
Please reach out to Mrs. Aoife Cahill aoifec@eics.ab.ca if you are interested in being involved or have questions about the roles.
