Fall Break Update
Blessings for Fall Break
Well we made it to the Fall Break and two months of the school year have already been completed. We are grateful for all the support from the parents and such great parent-teacher interviews over the past few nights. We hope that everyone had an opportunity to hear from the teachers about the progress of their children. These fall interviews are always a chance to celebrate the success of the students and what opportunities there are for growth before the final term 1 report cards. It is also a time for reflection and helps the students set goals that they can strive towards for the remainder of the term.
As a reminder, Fall Break is coming up. On Monday, November 7th, schools will be closed as a day in lieu of parent/teacher interviews, followed by Fall Break commencing on Tuesday, November 8th, until Thursday, November 10th. Immediately following Fall Break, schools will remain closed for Remembrance Day on Friday, November 11th.
Why do we have Fall Break? The reprieve is intended to support staff and students mental health, easing stress and enhancing wellness. A Fall Break benefits mental health by reducing stress and offering a quick reset and refresh, and this approach has been adopted by numerous post-secondary institutions and school jurisdictions.
When we return back to school after the break, the Season of Advent and Christmas will be just around the corner and we look forward to the celebrations that are upcoming. Watch for the weekly update after the break to come out on November 12th. Enjoy the next week off with the kids at home and take a chance to allow your shoulders to drop, it has been a busy fall!
We hope everyone has a fantastic fall break!

Remembrance for the Month of November!
Remembrance Day Liturgy
Today we prayed for all who are the victims of aggression throughout the World, and we pray especially for all who are involved in conflict, past, and present.
This is a time to pray for peace and to reflect on what we, as individuals, are doing to bring about God’s Peace in the world.
The Closing Prayer in today's Liturgy are great words to reflect on:
God our Father, your Son gave His life to free us
from the power of sin and death.
He showed us that the greatest love is in
giving up one’s life for others.
As we remember those who fought and died for the freedom and peace we enjoy today,
we ask you to bless all who continue to serve, and all of their families and loved ones.
May we never forget their generosity and example of service.
May your Holy Spirit give us the courage to be peacemakers through prayer and action. Amen.
Be sure to pause for the remembrance of the fallen soldiers and those that continue to serve so many on November 11th. Lest We Forget!
