A NEW LOGO FOR IMMACULATA
Our beloved Immaculata cross has been our logo for many years and while we love it, it does have some limitations in printing and embroidering. We determined that a new logo was in order and we wanted it to honour the tradition of the cross while having different logo variations for different uses. We wanted a logo that was clear regardless of where or how large it was printed. We wanted a frame for our simplified cross and to recognize our 60+ year history. Thanks to the generous help of Immaculata parent, Caroline Halili, https://www.cmhalili.com/, we now have a comprehensive set of refreshed logos. Over the next little while, you’ll see the new logo replacing the old.

Don’t worry Mustang fans – the M and the Mustang aren’t changing!

GRAPES FOR GRADS
Donations are greatly needed at this time to make the "Grapes for Grads" wine wall fundraiser possible. We are asking parents to generously donate a bottle of commercially produced wine or spirits.
Please send an adult with your donation bottle to the school office.
More details are to be revealed in the coming weeks. Thank you for supporting our school.
Contact agriffin@cisnd.ca for more info.
NEEDED: HOST FAMILIES FOR FRENCH STUDENTS
Please contact Shelley Brodeur at irhs.ahc@cisnd.ca or 250-300-3028.
Immac is going to be hosting 33 students from France from March 31 – April 14th. We are still looking for a few more families to host these students. If you have a spare bedroom (or could “create” a spare bedroom by doubling up a couple of your kids for two weeks). We pay $30 per day per student in exchange for room and board and transportation to and from school. 
IMPROV CLUB
Could you help us? Our Improv Club at Immaculata (The Audience Discretion Advised Players) needs a sponsor. We have joined a national network of improv clubs and hope one day to join workshops and competitions but are in need of some team swag to represent.
Is there anyone out there who could help us with the costs of t-shirts like the one you see here? A business logo could be added too if you would like.
Contact Grant Richard at the school if you are interested.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
Attention Satisfied Immac Parents:
We could use your help in contacting parents of Grade 7 students at St. Joe’s and Our Lady of Lourdes. This outreach is a great way to connect with parents who are considering where to send their Grade 7 student and let them know what you love about Immaculata. If you’re able to send some emails to help promote Immaculata, please contact Shelley Brodeur at irhs.ahc@cisnd.ca.

LEADERSHIP
This is a good reminder to all about the consequences of "lending" work. This example comes from McGill University's website, under Student Academic Rights and Responsibilities.

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.
