School Wide Lent Initiative
This year during Lent, we will be promoting our school’s Lenten initiative called “Loonie for Valeda.” We are encouraging students to raise a loonie each week during Lent for Valeda House. A part of Lent that we teach and encourage our students to focus on is almsgiving. Service to others is the core belief behind our faith. By raising money for Valeda House, we are providing the students not only the opportunity to learn more about their faith, but to put this message into action.
We are challenging our students to raise their loonie each week by doing extra chores around the house, helping others in their neighbourhoods, or through other activities. In other words, we want to challenge the students to be actively involved in supporting their less-fortunate sisters and brothers.
As part of our Lenten initiative we will be having the following events: We suggest a loonie donation to participate in each of these:
March 4 – loonie to watch a movie at lunch
March 12 – loonie to wear pyjamas
March 19- loonie to wear a hat
March 26 - loonie to eat healthy snacks during class
April 9 – loonie to have one block of free choice activities
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. (Matthew 5:7)
Thank you for your support to this very worthy cause.
