Weekly Wolves Update
Morinville Community High School
Doug Kramer, our Division Chaplain
Ask your kids who is "The Doug" and you'll likely get a bunch of funny answers but chances are they've met him through a video just like the one below.
Doug Kramer, our Division Chaplain, releases a weekly video series titled "Outside In" where he riffs on one of the current Sunday scripture readings from the Catholic Mass. He approaches them with relevance, humour and engaging stories that help us connect our faith to everyday life. Subscribe to his channel at creedcast.com/sundays!

Principal's Message
We have had a great start up to the year. Volleyball teams have begun their seasons and had their first tournament of the year this weekend. On Wednesday last week we had a pizza lunch for all our new students, and are looking forward to our lunch this week for this year's grad class.
I will be sending out an information email regarding the parent council in the next few days, as we are excited to get as much involvement from the parent community as possible. The meetings will be held on the third Tuesday of every month.
Damon Clayton, Principal
