LENT WEEK #4
Did you know?
Violet is the official color of Lent,
as this represents mourning for Jesus dying on the cross
while also celebrating his resurrection with the colors of royalty.
LEADERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT-St. Pat's
This recently announced EICS leadership change will occur here at St. Pat's effective April 29, 2021:
Mr. Bob Charchun will be moving over to OLMP Catholic School as the newly appointed Principal.
Mrs. Michelle Nanias will serve as "acting" Principal for the remainder of the school year here at St. Pat's. The selection of an "acting" Assistant Principal is currently being reviewed.
"I am very excited to lead the OLMP school community." It's bittersweet leaving St. Pat's as this is a very special school and I will miss our students and staff. I look forward to seeing familiar faces over at OLMP and welcoming our St. Pat's students as they transition over after Gr. 4. St. Pat's is in excellent hands with Mrs. Nanias. Our students are looking forward to her continued leadership." -Bob Charchun
"I am so excited to continue serving the students, staff and families of our St.Patrick School Community. St. Patrick School has always held a special place in my heart since I was once a student here also. I look forward to continuing to create a safe, faith filled and academic environment for our children to learn and grow." -Michelle Nanias
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
Don't forget to wear GREEN on March 17th!!!!!

"LENT A HAND" FUNDRAISER - MARCH 1ST - MARCH 24TH
St. Patrick School is looking to “Lent A Hand” this Lenten season by raising money for Catholic Social Services Sign of Hope. By supporting Sign of Hope, you are giving struggling families a chance to find stability for their children, providing nutritious meals to those in need, ensuring crisis counselling is accessible to those struggling with their mental health, enabling homeless youth to access a safe place, and more.
Donations of Toonies and Loonies and loose change can be sent with your child and collected in the big GREEN buckets in the classrooms starting March 1st and ending March 24th.
