Pink Shirt Day – Wednesday, February 28th, 2024.

 

We continue to promote diversity and inclusion at St Clement CES. The mission of Pink Shirt Day is to create a more kind, inclusive world by raising awareness for anti-bullying initiatives.  Today our diversity is becoming more visible than ever as people continue to embrace their cultures, identities, and true selves in more open and direct ways. The 2024 slogan “ALL KINDS OF KINDESS” aims to spotlight that all forms of kindness contribute to building an inclusive and connected community.

Let’s have greater acceptance, respect, and inclusion for everyone!

Show your support by wearing PINK!

Thought for the Week:“The time is always right to do what is right.”– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr 

Prayer: 

God, Our Father, loving and merciful, bring together and keep all families in perfect unity of love and mutual support.

Instil in each member the spirit of understanding and affection for each other.

Keep quarrels and bitterness far from them, and for their occasional failures instil forgiveness and peace.

May the mutual love and affection of parents set a good example.

Instil in children self-respect so that they may respect others and grow in mature independence.

May the mutual affection and respect of families be a sign of Christian life here and hereafter, through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

As we begin this Lenten season, please be mindful of our focus on ♰ PRAY FAST GIVE ♰

We will be having a pancake snack first thing on Shrove Tuesday, February 13th. Please complete this form ONLY IF YOUR CHILD HAS DIETARY RESTRICTIONS. Please do so by Wednesday the 7th.

The Saints Hit the Slope trip is now available through cash online. The bus company has agreed that we can bring our helmets and boots if you would like. If parents would like to meet us at the hill with skis or snowboards you are welcome to. The lesson is mandatory according to OSBIE, as skiing is deemed a high-risk sport.  The necessary forms will be distributed to those who have paid. All payments and forms are due by February 9th (Please note the date change). It is filling up fast!!  Late forms and payments will not be accepted. If parents do not wish to sign up students on the excursion, yet still drop them off, they will not be in the group and we will not be responsible. Please note that our $50 rate (that includes bus, equipment, lesson, lift pass, return pass)is less expensive than buying a day pass.

The remainder of the Big Boxed Cards are to arrive this Friday. Thank you for all your support. We sold 200 boxes!!!!!
