We ask you to send your child back to school with only these following items:
- Headphones
- Backpack

Welcome Mrs. Christy Ford
We would like to welcome and introduce our newest staff member to the team who will be teaching the kindergarten program. **If your child was supposed to be in Mrs. Blais' class, please note that Mrs. Ford will be your child's teacher.
Please welcome Mrs. Christy Ford, who joined our team this summer.
Here is a message from Mrs. Ford:
"I am a mom to Everley (6), Rowyn (5), and Madden (3), and a wife to Terry (37). My girls will be in grade 1 and kindergarten at St. John XXIII this year. We live in Fort Saskatchewan with our Shih Tzu, Meeko. I returned to teaching this past January to teach kindergarten at St. Luke. I spent the last 7 years at home raising our children. I love the mountains and spend as much time as I can hiking, camping, trail running, and snowboarding. My favorite part about teaching is meeting the awesome little people who will be in my class and forming special relationships with each one of them. It is a true blessing to be a teacher, and to have the privilege of being a part of the lives of so many young children."
