The season of Lent invites us to repentance and reflection. May your journey be blessed.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Our Purdy's Fundraiser is in full swing!

This year, our goal is to raise $1000.00 so we need your help—but don’t worry, all the work you're doing is choosing which chocolates to order.

Stock up on beautiful Easter gift boxes, fun chocolate bunnies, Sweet Georgia Browns, and more. All profits will go directly to Immaculata Regional High School. So satisfy those cravings, get all your Easter gift-shopping done while supporting a great cause.

The deadline to order is March 17, 2023

To order, follow this link: https://fundraising.purdys.com/1714623-105093

Once there you can pick "Shop Online", and view either "Marketplace" or "Online form" to choose your items.

Thank you for your support

ACHIEVEMENTS

BUT...WAS IT GLUTEN FREE?

This Friday the grade 11 and 12 physics classes took part in the annual Spaghetti Bridge Competition at Okanagan College. They competed in the team building division. The lightest bridge that can hold 1 kg for 1 minute wins. Unfortunately, all but one bridge broke under weight (as did most of the competition), but the one that did hold up was just shy of making the podium.

A BIG THANK YOU

To all the donors who contributed towards funds for the Metro Community Outreach Program through this years Coldest Night of the Year. The St. Pius the X Society of St. Vincent de Paul walked as a team with the Metro Community. You are still able to contribute towards this outreach service through the following link. For more information on the walk please see Mr. Wilson.

FINALY UP!

The Learning Commons is sporting a brand new Donor Wall in honour of the Legacy Project campaign that we ran in 2021. The campaign raised funds to renovate the LC as well as update the collection, which is in continual renewal. Those sponsors who donated in specific tiers towards the goal are recognized in the wall. The wall is made up of small replicas of books in colourful shades with plaques made out of leather and engraved with their names on our 3D printer. The project has been in the works for a while, and we are so happy to be able to finally display it.

OUR TEAMS MADE THE NEWS...

Congratulations to the 2023 Sustainable Development Challenge competitors!

That's a wrap! The 2023 Sustainable Development Challenge, which took place on Feb. 23, was a great success. Each year this program allows students to work alongside community organizations and nonprofits to devise a plan to embark on a more sustainable future.

Small School. Big Family.
