St. Patrick's School

The Grade 5/6 students had the opportunity to participate in a wonderful art session through Connected North this week. They learned about the Indigenous medicine that can be provided by the Birch tree and how there are over 20 different species of Birch trees. They then created beautiful paintings of some Birch trees, guided by Metis artist Connie Kulhavy from Edmonton. The students' talent speaks for itself in their finished pictures.

Lost and found items are located in the foyer. Please notify us if you identify an item that belongs to your child, and we will ensure it is sent home with them.

Here are a few photos from the Grade 7/8 trip to Thunder Bay. The class spent 4 days and 3 nights and covered almost the entire city. Lots of memories were made.

What a wonderful afternoon at the SPS Family BBQ!🍔🌭Thank you to our families that came out to celebrate the end of the year with us. It was great to see our community gather together to enjoy delicious food, fellowship and connection.

A heartfelt thank you to the many volunteers that spent the morning at the school preparing the food. Your time and effort truly made this day a special one.

We are so grateful to have such a supportive and vibrant school community.💚

We caught the Grade 3/4 class beautifying the front yard of the school by planting flowers. Well done, students!

🐛 🐜
Our Kindergarten students have been busy learning about insects and the important role they play in our environment. Through books, discussions, observations, and outdoor exploration, we discovered that many bugs need safe places to rest, hide, and lay their eggs.

The children worked together to design and build bug hotels using a variety of natural materials. They carefully planned what insects might need and created spaces with different textures and hiding spots. Once our bug hotels were complete, we proudly placed them in our school garden to welcome our tiny visitors!

This hands-on STEM project encouraged creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and environmental stewardship. In preparation for our build we also enjoyed a neighbourhood walk to observe and watch insects. 🐜

We can’t wait to observe who moves into our bug hotels and continue learning about the amazing creatures that share our outdoor space. 💚🪲

If you haven’t placed your BBQ order yet, please call the school today and/or return your order form tomorrow.

Thank you!
