Lenten Collection

During the last two weeks of Lent, as we prepare for Easter, the Georges Vanier school community will be invited to collect toiletry items for the Shepherd's of Good Hope. Our Lenten journey has included celebrating together for liturgies, and in the spirit of alms giving, we will come together to support those in our community who are in need at this time.

Students in the Social Justice Club have been learning about the Shepherd's of Good Hope, and how they support people throughout the greater Ottawa community. Students from kindergarten through grade 6 are invited to donate different toiletry items, which we will collect beginning on April 3 until April 13.

Welcome back!

We hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing March Break! We're looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, and hearing all about your adventures!

Quiet time blankets were sent home before the break - a reminder to please return them to school tomorrow! Also, Monday is Library Day, so if you haven't already returned your child's library book and book bag, please send them in tomorrow so that your child can take out another book to enjoy.

The Kindergarten Team will be celebrating the third week of Lent with a Liturgy this Tuesday, March 21 at 11:00. Parents and family members are welcome to attend.
