SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETING
HALLOWEEN
ALL SAINTS DAY
All Saints Day is celebrated on November 1st.
On Nov. 2, All Souls Day, we remember those who have died believing in the resurrection and in life everlasting.
As November is the month of Remembrance, we will be passing our Book of Remembrance from class to class in the next few weeks to record the names of our family and friends who have died in the past year.
We will also be creating a display in our school to honour our deceased loved ones. We invite students and staff to bring pictures (preferably mounted or framed) and/or small mementos of any family members or friends who have died. They will be reverently displayed and will serve as a reminder of these loved ones and our call to pray for them. Please write your child's name on the back of the picture or memento so that we can return them at the end of November. Please bring these photos to classroom teachers. Thank you!
SCHOOL FEES
When Your Child Is Feeling Angry
Everyone feels angry sometimes. But dealing with a child who is angry quite often is difficult. Slamming doors, stomping feet, yelling loudly, saying things they don’t mean - it all can get overwhelming and it can be easy to lose your cool. Check out Big Life Journal’s strategy of ways to minimize explosive reactions and how to focus on a way to connect deeper with your child.
