What a show!! Have you had a chance to watch it yet? If you purchased a link, the show will be available for one week. Thank you again for your support! |
|
The show may have aired, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end. The final episodes of the Gradflix fundraiser take our viewers to the Grapes for Grads wine sale and the Silent Auction.
All items have been donated and so 100% of the proceeds go directly to our grad class to offset the cost of their grad retreat, banquet, prom, and bursaries.
https://trellis.org/grapes-for-grads $20 per ticket, every ticket corresponds to a bottle on the wall. Some bottles are worth $10. Some are worth $100! Everyone is guaranteed a prize!
We have had some late additions to the wine wall. We now have 10 tickets left!
https://trellis.org/2022-grad-show-silent-auction Click on the Silent Auction menu at the top of the page to view the great selection of items available. On mobile, click the hamburger menu (a stack of three horizontal lines resembling a hamburger) and select Silent Auction.
Please send this information out to all your friends, as anyone (19+) is able to purchase a bottle or bid on the silent auction!
Deadline for both is February 28 at 11 a.m.
Thank you to everyone who generously donated to the Grapes for Grads and the Silent Auction and for the support of the Gradflix fun-draiser!

Our Fine Arts Department is busily working on a ton of fun for you.
We have, with the expertise of Mrs. Dina Fiset-Kinzel, created an improv club this year (named Viewer Discretion Advised Improv Club) and are quickly making our way to performances at lunch for the general student population to prepare us for improv competition – yes, that’s a real thing.
Our Drama Club is working madly on an Alfred Hitchcock-inspired comedy filled with laughs and intrigue (and lots of accents) set for the end of the year called The Thirty Nine Steps.
Lastly, our senior drama class is working on a play about professional wrestling, with performance dates in June.
Stay tuned, and we hope you enjoy all the shows!

IMMAC HOMESTAYS NEEDED FOR 2022-23 |
- Do you enjoy learning about other cultures?
- Do you like kids?
- Do you have a spare room?
If you answered yes to these questions, you could be just the family we’re looking for!
We are building our list of homestay families for the 2022-23 school year! We expect to have students from Latin America, Asia, and Europe. We had some amazing new families join us last year and we hope to add some more next year.

SOCIAL JUSTICE 12 -SD CHALLENGE |
|
Students from Immaculata’s Social Justice 12 class were very busy on Wednesday. They have been working very hard to create a plan to address the world’s water crisis, which includes a local plan for Immaculata and hopefully all of the schools in our diocese, to educate students about responsible consumption of water, and an international plan, partnering with an agency in Kenya, to build a well to address water scarcity in that part of the world.
These students started at 7:30 am as they do every Wednesday morning, spending their entire morning practicing and fine-tuning their presentation. They went to the Rotary Centre for the Arts for more practice, and finally, at 7 pm they took to the stage to tell an audience of 250 people their plan in the hopes of winning the funds necessary to carry out their plan.
By the time everything was done, they walked away with cheques totaling $2,350 for the project. They now have the funds to put their plans into action. Congratulations to the girls and to all the other teams from throughout Kelowna who took on the challenge to create change for a better world.

Apparently, this is a thing...who knew? The students knew...that's who! So they nailed it! |

Ok, this one is clever...nice t-shirt girls! |

Boys, when we said it was twin day, we didn't mean twin injuries! That's a bit extreme! |

I insist this has to become a fad. |

Please CALL the office at
250-762-2730
and leave a recorded message for Ms. Despins if your child will be absent or late.
It is very important that every student is accounted for when marked away. This will save Ms. Despins time when recording attendance.
