With all students learning from home, local Catholic elementary schools celebrated Education Week this month – virtually. “We delivered a first-time fully virtual Catholic Education Week,” said Nadia Zanatta, vice-principal at Our Lady of Lourdes French Immersion School. She said last year’s education week had a few events on Facebook, but this year was a solid school wide event with the theme ‘Nurturing Hope’. Zanatta said the entire school met on Google Meet for a kickoff assembly on the Monday morning (May 10). Events during the week included a daily theme, dance parties and read alouds. The school delivered packages to the home of each student that included a gardening kit to plant vegetables, template activities, school swag and treats.

Two students from Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School raised $1,000 to buy Christmas meals for families that could use the extra help over the Holidays.
The two students and their family, who wish to remain anonymous, usually attend Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School, but are currently being home schooled due to COVID-19.

Our Lady of Fatima principal Andrew Chi called the students’ initiative “generous and positive.”
“This family decided, as part of home schooling, was to do something positive for the community so they created the fundraising poster, contacted community members, saved their own allowances to fundraise around $1,000 for Christmas dinners for other families during Christmas,” he said.
