Our Lady of Mount Carmel Green STEM Elementary School

Last Friday, we celebrated Parent Appreciation Day with coffee, cookies, and gratitude! ☕🍪

A heartfelt thank you to all of our parents and families for your ongoing support, encouragement, and partnership throughout the school year. Your involvement makes a tremendous difference in the lives of our students and our school community. We are so grateful for all that you do!

Thank you for being such an important part of our school family. ❤️

What a FUN way to spend the first Friday in June! ☀️

Our school spent the day outside participating in Mini Legends competitions and challenges. We were so lucky that the rain held off for most of the day, allowing us to enjoy all the activities, teamwork, and excitement.

To make the day even better, students enjoyed a delicious hot dog and chips lunch before heading back out for more fun! 🌭

There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and school spirit all around. We had an amazing day and made some great memories together!

🌾🫓 As part of National Indigenous History Month, Grade 3B enjoyed a meaningful hands-on learning experience making bannock with Ms. Darian Swampy.

Ms. Swampy generously shared her recipe, techniques, and knowledge with our students, helping them learn about the significance of bannock and the important role that food, culture, traditions, and community play in many Indigenous cultures.

Throughout National Indigenous History Month, students at OLMC are learning about the histories, cultures, contributions, and diverse perspectives of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples. Experiences like this help bring learning to life and deepen our understanding and appreciation of Indigenous ways of knowing and being.

Thank you, Ms. Swampy, for sharing your time, knowledge, and traditions with us!

  

💛🖤From 1925 to today, Our Lady of Mount Carmel has been home to a century of stories, faith, learning, and community.

This past Thursday, we celebrated a truly special milestone of 100 years of OLMC. Students, staff, families, alumni, and community members came together to honour the school’s rich history and lasting legacy.

We were especially blessed to receive an Apostolic Blessing from Pope Leo XIV in recognition of this remarkable anniversary. In the evening, the school opened its doors to welcome former staff and students, who shared cherished memories and stories from their time at OLMC.

As we celebrate the past 100 years, we look forward with gratitude and hope to the next century of learning, faith, and community. ❤️

100 years of learning and growing 💛🖤

Gr 1/2 students explored how light travels by creating their very own shadow plays! 🌟 Using light, shapes, and creativity, they discovered how shadows are formed and brought their stories to life. 🎭🔦
