Break the Rules!
On Tuesday, February 16, the students at Holy Spirit School will be celebrating ”Break the Rules” day as part of Shrove Tuesday! Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent, is a day to prepare for Lent’s fasting. We will also enjoy pancakes this day.
The money raised from this fun event will be used to support our Social Justice project supporting Valeda House.
This is an optional activity where students (with the help of their parents), choose which rules they would like to break.
Here are the “Principal Approved” rules to break:
Chew gum in class! ($2.00)
Wear a hat ($2.00)
Wear PJs ($2.00)
Ash Wednesday Celebration and Pancake Lunch
Thank you to our School Council who are providing 2 pancakes per student on Tuesday, February 16 for Shrove Tuesday. Pancakes will be made by Headquarters Restaurant and the individual packages will be distributed by our staff. Please make sure to pack extra food for the students to supplement the pancake lunch. Shrove Tuesday is a Christian feast day before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday.
Join us for our virtual Ash Wednesday mass on Wednesday, February 17 at 1pm at www.OLPH.ca. Students will be receiving ashes on their forehead at school during the mass.
Congratulations
