Victoria Day is May 18, and our schools are closed. Have a wonderful long weekend LCSD families!
Lakeland Catholic Grade 9 Religion teachers recently travelled to Edmonton alongside Catholic educators from across Northern Alberta to explore the newly developed Grade 9 Religion resource approved by the Bishops of Alberta.
What an incredible opportunity to gather, collaborate, and grow alongside fellow Catholic educators while continuing to strengthen faith-filled learning in our classrooms.

On Friday, we reflect on Blessed Carlo Acutis, a young witness of faith who reminds us that holiness is possible in our everyday lives.
“The Eucharist is the highway to Heaven.”
His example calls us to live our faith with purpose and to keep Christ at the centre of all we do.

Yesterday, on Ascension Thursday and World Catholic Education Day, Lakeland Catholic Indigenous Leads came together for a special professional learning session focused on strengthening understanding, connection, and ongoing learning within our schools.
The day began with smudging and reflection, creating space for respectful dialogue, shared learning, and relationship-building as staff continue working to support meaningful and respectful learning environments for students across our division.
Lakeland Catholic was also grateful to welcome Jory Proft, a member of the Rupertsland Institute (RLI) Teaching & Learning Team, who shared comprehensive Métis foundational knowledge and resources designed to authentically share Métis history, identity, and culture, while helping weave Métis voices and perspectives into learning.
Sessions like these continue supporting ongoing growth, understanding, and relationship-building within our schools and communities.

Sharing the Faith: Growing Together in Catholic Education 💙✝️

Last evening, Lakeland Catholic staff gathered for Sharing the Faith — an opportunity for Year 1 and Year 2 teachers to deepen their understanding of Catholic education, faith formation, and how faith is lived out within LCSD classrooms.
The evening began with Mass and included reflection and shared experiences focused on strengthening Catholic understanding and supporting Christ-centered learning environments.
We are grateful to members of our Board of Trustees for attending and supporting the evening, and extend a special thank you to Board Chair Anna Brockhoff and Superintendent Sheldon Germain for presenting and sharing their perspectives on Catholic education.
Reflections and testimonials shared throughout the evening highlighted the meaningful ways faith continues to shape learning, relationships, and daily life within our schools.
“I like the prayers at the end of the day because it reminds me to be kind.” – Holy Cross student
“Writing in my Prayer Book helps me to look at the idea we are focused on that day. How to help others, or to look at how people react to others. This helps me see that everyone being at a different place in life, is ok!” – AJSH student
“I found that as I guided students in recognizing God in others and in everyday moments, I became more aware of His presence in my own life. This initiative strengthened my confidence in integrating faith into all aspects of teaching and deepened my understanding of what it means to be a Catholic educator who not only teaches faith but truly lives it.” – Marissa Willemsen
On this Ascension Thursday and during Catholic Education Week, these reflections highlight the meaningful impact Catholic education continues to have on students, staff, and school communities each day.
Today, students and staff across LCSD proudly wear blue in celebration of World Catholic Education Day and the gift of Catholic education within our schools and communities. 💙

On Thursday, we reflect on St. Kateri Tekakwitha, whose quiet strength and deep faith continue to inspire us.
“I am not my own. I have given myself to Jesus. He must be my only love.”
Her example reminds us of the strength found in faith, trust, and devotion.

Today, students from Assumption Jr./Sr. High School and École Notre Dame High School explored future pathways at the Lakeland Regional Career Expo!
With a wide variety of exhibitors and hands-on opportunities, students had the chance to connect with industry professionals, ask questions, discover career possibilities, and gain valuable insight into future education and workforce opportunities right here in our region.
Events like this are important because they help students build connections, explore career interests, and gain real-world insight into the many pathways available to them — with opportunities that can even lead to future apprenticeship and career pathways.
The future is full of opportunity!
