Catholic Education Mass
Dear God,
As we celebrate our connection with Catholic Schools and Parishes
Guide us in bringing hope to others.
Lead us in building respect and being family.
And inspire us to educate both hearts as well as minds.
Bless our St Andre Bessette Catholic School staff as they share their wisdom with gentle patience and kindness.
Fill our students with your spirit and grace as they learn, serve, lead and succeed.
Surround our high school alumni and OLA families as they represent your kingdom in our community and our world.
In your name we pray.
Amen.
SO blessed to have two dynamic grade one classes join us at SAB. These St JP23 kiddos made our Friday so unique!

Skills in the Heartland Career Fair Coming to SAB!
Last year this event was held at the Legion and our Cosmetology and Construction students traveled there to enjoy a handful of quality booths which were supported by local industry. These folks offered hands on activities in an a effort to sharing the value of their occupations.
This year it has grown so much that we are the fortunate partners with this group of industry experts. We are so pleased to open our school gym to approximately 20 "Try-A-Trade" stations and expect 700 students to participate from St Andre Bessette and the neighboring high schools who have been invited. Students can investigate a career in disciplines such as: Plumbing, Carpentry, Culinary Arts, Welding, and more.

Thank you Ms Labrecque for the info session on Post Secondary and Scholarships!

BASKETBALL COACH REQUIRED
RE: Grade 9 Boys Basketball Coach
The St. André Bessette athletic department is looking for a volunteer preferably with basketball experience to coach the Grade 9 boys basketball team this season. We have a very eager group of boys looking to participate, grow and develop their skills, and we hope to provide this opportunity for them.
Games for the Grade 9 boys team are primarily on Tuesdays and Thursdays from the start of December - start of March. Some games are hosted at our school and the others are played in Fort Saskatchewan schools, Lamont, Fultonvale, Sherwood Park and Vegreville (EIPS league). We are entered in a couple of tournaments, Dec 12-14 (EIPS tournament), January 17-18 (Fort Christian Tournament). Practices will be scheduled once a firm game schedule has been put in place, but will usually be on Monday and Wednesday from 3:15-4:45 or 4:45 - 6:15. There will also be a potential for morning practices as well.
Since volleyball will be ending soon for our whole school, we would like to start having tryouts soon. If you are someone that is interested in volunteering this season, please email or phone Ryan Gau at ryang@eics.ab.ca - 587-744-0750.
Thank you,
Ryan Gau
Thank you Fort Saskatchewan Home Depot!
