Today, two of our three Lakeland Catholic Schools in Cold Lake, received concerning phone threats. Out of an abundance of caution, St. Dominic Elementary School, Holy Cross Elementary School and Assumption Jr/Sr High School moved into Emergency Response Procedures.

We are especially thankful to the RCMP for their diligent response, ongoing support, and clear guidance as we worked together to keep everyone safe. We continue to work in collaboration with them.
We are grateful for the compassion shown across our school communities.

Today, students at École Notre Dame Elementary, École Dr. Brosseau Middle School, and École Notre Dame High School held their first fire drills of the year. These practices ensure that, in an emergency, every student knows where to go and what to do.
Fire drills take only a few minutes and play an important role in supporting student safety and preparedness in our schools.

ÉNDE laced up for Mental Health Miles! Students and staff walked in support of wellness, with Superintendent Germain joining in! Across Lakeland Catholic, small steps with great love bring us together in joy and wellness.

Today our Faith Leads gathered for a day of prayer, reflection, and collaboration. The session invited leaders to explore the Catholic worldview and its role in guiding our students toward wisdom, truth, and faith-filled lives.
As highlighted in the discussion: “Why is it valuable and important to provide time and space for our students to contemplate reality from the standpoint of faith?”
This question remains at the heart of Catholic education, reminding us of our mission to nurture not only academic growth but also the spiritual formation of every student. Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.
