Fulfilling Friday!

Hello Families!


We had a very heartfelt fulfilling day in grade 4/5 at Sacred Heart today!  Our students were blessed to take part in our farewell assembly at our school.  It was joyful, sad, lovely and fulfilling all at once. 


With change always comes apprehension and worry but I can assure you our future is bright, blessed and we are so humbled by the gift we have been given; thank you Lord for the blessing of our new school!


Enjoy your weekend! and remember to bring back your library books!

Tricky Tuesday!

Hello Families!


It was nice to see many students back today; we have had a lot away ill!  We are in those final days before the move and the children are having a bit of a tough time focusing with all the change.  I encourage them to stay in the moment and try to be present in all that we are learning.


We began our new LA Unit today called "Making a Difference."  We kicked off the unit by reading the book The Dot by Peter Reynolds.  Take a look below!

Hello families!


We had a great Friday and the sun shine just added to our day!  We started the day off with a whole bunch of Jersey wearing staff and students; what a great spirit day!  We then continued to kick our day off with a beautiful concert by a band from Lethbridge.  Most students finished their Hipster Bunny and we hopped into some math, AR, word work, and social studies along the way!
