One of École Notre Dame High School's most cherished traditions continued today as the Class of 2026 gathered for their annual graduation pep rally and grad walk through the community.
The day began with a pep rally, where graduates received plant clippings from the school's living wall, presented by Superintendent Sheldon Germain. The plant clippings serve as a meaningful symbol of growth as graduates prepare to begin the next chapter of their journey. Graduates then took part in the traditional Grad Walk, visiting École Notre Dame Elementary School, the Bonnyville Lodge, and École Dr. Bernard Brosseau School, where they were greeted with cheers, high-fives, handmade posters, and well wishes from students, staff, residents, and community members.

École Notre Dame High School recently brought the joy of music to younger students during a special band performance at École Notre Dame Elementary School!
ÉNDE students were engaged and excited as high school musicians shared their talents and passion for music through an energetic performance that had students smiling, clapping, and fully tuned in.
One of the highlights came when Mr. deSousa invited a student volunteer from the audience to conduct the band while he joined the musicians himself — creating a fun and memorable moment for students and staff alike.
Thank you to the ENDH band students and staff for sharing their gifts and helping inspire the next generation of musicians!

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. 💙
