🧑🍳 Chef’s hats off to our Senior High EAL students!

A sincere thank you to:
• Ms. Shankowski for generously sharing the Home Ec room
• Paola and Oksana from Action for Healthy Communities
• System Excellence Coordinator, Sherry Depner, for supporting our students
• Ms. G for tackling the grocery run
• Our judges, Mrs. Sicard and Mme. Kelley, for taking on the tough (and tasty!) job of scoring the dishes

Across the Division, students engaged in meaningful learning that built literacy and numeracy skills, encouraged problem‑solving, and strengthened confidence. From Learning Strategies at Assumption, to one‑to‑one literacy instruction at Holy Cross, to Grade 5/6 goal setting in Wellness at Holy Family, to numeracy work and shared reading at École Notre Dame Elementary, classrooms remained focused on learning that supports the whole child — academically, socially, and spiritually.
Students who were unable to attend were provided with learning activities to support continued learning from home.
Thank you to our families, staff, and students for their dedication to learning today. The day reinforced the importance of consistency and connection for students.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday!
