HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO OUR ST. PAT'S FAMILIES!
Thanksgiving Day is a special day each year when we stop to realize the many blessings that lie in everyday living. Let us remember to keep the spirit of thankfulness throughout the year, and greet each day in the spirit of joy. We wish our families a wonderful thanksgiving weekend with family and friends.
Thank you to Mrs. Sharek's grade four class for hosting a virtual thanksgiving assembly...great job!

Gr. 3/4 Cross-Country Running @ ST. PAT'S!!
Unfortunately all cross country races were canceled for the fall season, However St. Pats was able to have one race at the school! We had 75 plus grade 3 and 4 runners participate in our 2km cross country run! It was great to see so many take an interest in this great sport. We had super weather and all the runners put forth a great effort and displayed a positive attitude! A huge thank you to Ever Active Schools that provided race bibs and finisher prizes. We hope to be running more in the spring!
Run Happy,
Mr. Ernst & Mr. Doll
