Tomorrow is our annual Christmas turkey lunch. We have three sittings starting at 10:45 am. To help keep waste to a minimum and support our school’s ECO -friendly focus we ask that parents supply their children with a reusable plate, cup, knife and folk.
I would like to thank the Holy Family Catholic School Advisory Council for their support and the many parent volunteers who are helping to prepare the meal. In addition, I like to thank Sabrina Henhoeffer for coordinating this annual event and Amanda eagle who is the council’s volunteer coordinator. This event could not be provided without the generous donations from No Frills.
Sincerely,

Parents and caregivers… are you sending your children mixed messages about healthy living?
Though you may not realize it, children watch the adults in their lives very closely. Being a positive role model and modeling healthy behaviours for your children will help them to develop healthy habits for life. Here are a few things you can do to lead by example:
Zesty Rice and Lentil Salad

1 whole bell pepper (red, yellow or orange), diced
2 cups kale, chopped
