Hello Grade 2 families, 

Archbishop Damphousse (Archbishop of Ottawa/Cornwall) is celebrating a milestone birthday!    Our Grade 2 classes have been asked by the OCSB Religious Education Department to sing ‘happy birthday’ to Archbishop Damphousse.  The students singing (both classes) will be video recorded on Monday March 6th by an OCSB representative.  This is a very special opportunity for our students.  Please reach out to either of us directly if you have any questions.  

Thank you for your support, 

Ms. Lacar and Mr. McSheffrey (Grade 2 teachers)

Please see the details below regarding our Lenten fundraiser at St. Philip Catholic School: 

Our Lenten fundraiser for the Peru Mission, and CEFO, will be taking place throughout the duration of Lent at St. Philip Catholic School.  Students are encouraged to do chores and acts of kindness at home to “earn” funds for the poor.  As a result of your child’s acts of service, families can contribute to the Lenten fundraiser. All collected funds will be donated to the Peru Mission of St. Philip Catholic Church. 

Donations can be made using SchoolCash online and/or during our  "$2 for Peru Days" at St. Philip Catholic School. Toonies will be accepted as a donation on the following Wednesdays during Lent: 

"$2 for Peru" - March 1: Bring in $2.00 and chew gum during the day! (gum will be provided or students can bring their own)

"$2 for Peru" - March 8: Bring in $2.00 and play board games with your class for a block! (students are invited to bring in a favourite board game from home to share with their class)

"$2 for Peru" - March 22: Bring in $2.00 and have Jersey Day or Spirit Wear Day! (students are invited to wear a favourite team jersey, school spirit wear, or a favourite shirt)

"$2 for Peru" - March 29: Bring in $2.00 and wear PJs during the day! (students are invited to wear a favourite pair of PJs for the day)

 

Our Lenten fundraising for children in Peru is an excellent opportunity for students to live out our OCSB theme of "Be Community" by helping those in need.  

Thank you for your generous support!

Hello we had a few agenda items today.  Please see them posted below.  Much appreciated: 

Lenten Fundraiser - Bring in $2.00 to chew gum on Wednesday for “Chew for Peru”.  

Mass tomorrow

French: Family Tree homework.  

New WWW

 

Today is Ash Wednesday.  This is the first day of Lent.  On Ash Wednesday, we are marked with ashes as a sign of penance.  This is a call for us to repent and turn away from sin.  During the season of Lent, we grow closer to Jesus through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
