St. Patrick Catholic School
Weekly Bulletin - October 25, 2020
Thank you parents for your continued support!
As a staff, we have recently updated and adjusted our own protocols in the school to keep our students and school community as safe as we can. We are trying to be as proactive as possible to promote safety in our school. Our staff have done an amazing job with this and continue to go above and beyond for our students. We will continue to pray that the virus does not affect our school community.

OCTOBER - MONTH OF THE ROSARY
A special aspect of our school is being able to come together to pray. With October being the month of the Rosary, we thought it would be nice as a school to pray a decade of the Rosary over the intercom together.
The grade 4 students were gifted some beautiful rosaries during their bible presentation and the rest of the students will be making a children's decade rosary to use.
Here is a link on how to pray the rosary. Once your child brings home their rosary, you can share in the prayers together.

HALLOWEEN INFORMATION
As parents will not be available to help with costumes (as in the past), we are asking students to come dressed for the day keeping the following in mind:
- Choose a simple costume that promotes independence. Please minimize accessories etc. as well. This will make classroom work, recess, PE activity, and the use of the washroom much easier.
- Please do not send inflatable costumes.
- Each class will communicate how they will run some fun "Halloween" activity at some point in the day. You may send a pre-packaged snack for your child to enjoy at this time. There will be no sharing of food items permitted.
- As done in the past, the majority of the day will be devoted to curriculum.
Thank you for your understanding through this time. We want to ensure students are as safe as possible while enjoying this special day.
