Titans Times
Week of Sept. 19-23, 2022
New Prayer Tables
On Thursday, we celebrated the school's opening liturgy. We were blessed to have Father Lester preside and introduce the third year of our school division faith theme, Arise, and Go with God! Father Lester encouraged us to pray and listen as we go with God this school year!
We also unveiled our new school prayer tables that are now in every classroom. Father Lester also blessed our new prayer tables during the liturgy. These beautiful tables will be a focal point in the classroom as a place to gather and celebrate our faith together! Thank you so very much to Mary Moylan for your hard work building these tables and purchasing the items to tie in the theme. We are blessed to be able to display our faith in this meaningful way that will unify every classroom! The students and teachers are very proud to have the tables on display in their classrooms. We look forward when all the families get to come in and see them on display.
Blessings for a wonderful week ahead,
Mrs. Lisa Kleparchuk, Principal
Mrs. Sheri Crowston, Vice Principal

When Your Child Has A Bad Day
Bad days happen, and when your child has a hard day, you might see their unhappiness as a problem and believe it is your responsibility to fix it. The truth is, all feelings are healthy for children to experience - even the unpleasant or the tough-to-have ones. Our role is to help them feel supported through that emotion and remind them that they are not alone.
These reminders can sound like:
Today is not forever.
I’m here.
It’s okay to not feel okay.
Here are some “Things to tell your child when they are having a bad day.” from Big Life Journal to help when those bad days happen.
