Titans' Times
Week-at-a-Glance (WAAG) for Dec. 5-9, 2022
Advent Journey - "Take a Walk to Christmas"
Next week we begin the second week of Advent when we light the first two purple candles, the second called the “Bethlehem Candle”, as a reminder of Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem
On Monday morning we will gather as a school community to celebrate the second week of Advent. Every day we are adding another figure to the nativity scene and our prayers during lent are about the "Journey to Bethlehem".
We have a few special service projects going on during Advent and appreciate the generosity of our Titans' families in ensuring that the less fortunate are not forgotten during this season.
Blessings,
Mrs. Kleparchuk, Principal
Mrs. Crowston, Vice Principal

7 Family Rituals of Belonging
Family rituals can be anything from traditions from your own childhood to something you make up together: Sunday dinner, family walks, bedtime affirmations, etc.
Why do family rituals matter?
Not only because family rituals are generally fun but also they are very effective in strengthening your family bond and developing a strong sense of belonging in your children. When children feel that strong sense of belonging and connection, it helps grow their confidence and self-esteem.
Check out the guide below from Big Life Journal, which includes great ideas and inspiration for you to start your very own rituals at home.
7 Family Rituals that Develop a Sense of Belonging
Stay tuned for some Christmas cheer and snow much fun with GSACRD Voice! Registration links will be provided in your school's next newsletter!
Earth 🌍 Rangers Presentation!
Legal School was selected to receive our Earth Rangers Virtual Presentation for free, thanks to sponsorship from one of our generous sponsors – Gibson Energy (special thanks to Mrs. Csizmadia for getting us nominated!)
The presentation focused on amazing animals and their superpowers - and explaining the importance of biodiversity and how animals unique adaptations allow them to thrive in their specific ecosystems. Our students learned tangible ways they can help protect these ecosystems and show the big collective impact small, everyday actions can have.
What an engaging way to interact in a virtual setting and learn more about protecting the Earth
