CHRISTMAS CONCERT TICKET INFORMATION
We are excited to announce that this year the St.Patrick School Council is going to be purchasing 2 tickets per family for this year’s Christmas Concert.
Tickets will go on sale November 27th, WALK-UP only at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre box office (4501 50th street). The box office opens at 9am. The staff at the Lougheed Centre have been given “family lists” where ticket sales can be tracked so all families have equal opportunity to see their children perform. Special consideration has also been made for blended families.
When tickets are being purchased, families can receive their 2 free tickets and also buy an additional two tickets at the same time.
On December 4th any unsold tickets will be open up to purchase at first come first serve where these sales will also be tracked to each family.(2 more tickets each) Children 18 months and under do not need to purchase a ticket and can sit on a lap.
If you need support purchasing tickets, please speak directly to Mrs.Nanias and the school community will support your needs confidentially.
This advent EICS is continuing to partner with Catholic Social Services to support women and children in Lurana Shelter.
Lurana is a 21 day domestic abuse emergency shelter. The women and children who stay there have nowhere else to go. Their home is unsafe. They may have left their home with only the clothes on their back. They need the staff in CSS’ Lurana shelter to help them heal.
When they arrive at Lurana CSS staff will give them a bedroom to stay in. Staff will also provide them with a Basket of Blessings purchased by the students, teachers and parents of Elk Island Catholic School Division.
With your donations staff will purchase an adult basket and/or a children’s basket(s). Each basket will be tailored to the specific needs of women and children as they enter Lurana shelter.

PARENT VOLUNTEERS
Parents wanting to volunteer at the school or for field trips need to have a Criminal Record Check, Child Intervention Check and sign a Volunteer Confidentiality Undertaking form.
Request forms for these can be picked up at the school office. If you are unsure if you have these documents already completed you can call the office and we can check. These checks can take a while to process so if you are wanting to volunteer please get these done ASAP.
END OF DAY PHONE MESSAGES TO STUDENTS
