As our students remind us daily, Halloween is this Friday.  Students can dress in Black and Orange or wear a costume but for safety/practical reasons, masks and accessories are not permitted.

Please read the following from the Board on Costumes:

“With Halloween just around the corner, the countdown is on for parents to find the perfect Halloween costume for their children. As tempting as it may be to dress our kids in pretty much anything they want to be, it is important to consider a more thoughtful approach about whether the costume is culturally sensitive and appropriate. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, cultural appropriation is, “the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect the culture.” Halloween is a fun event and with some creativity and imagination, parents can help their child(ren) with deciding on a costume that aligns with a culturally sensitive Halloween. Being proactive can help all of us to avoid uncomfortable situations at school and in our community and can help us ensure that Halloween is a fun event where all students feel safe and honoured.”

As well, we have been informed that By-law will be patrolling the streets around the school during pick up time so please ensure you are following the signage and not blocking driveways.

Dear Parents and Guardians:

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, we are preparing for a successful food drive for our fellow neighbours who rely on the Orleans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre Food Bank.  As our school board theme this year calls us to “Open Doors, Build Bridges and Nourish New Beginnings”, we ask that you join us in the collective effort of bringing in any nonperishable food items.  Please see the list of most needed items below.  If you would like to contribute, please send in any nonperishable food items with your child over the next two weeks (Sept 26 - Oct 9).  Alternatively, a monetary donation can be made through this link:  https://www.crcoc.ca/en/donate-occrc/ .

We are hoping to leave others feeling grateful and blessed this Thanksgiving.  We thank you in advance for your generosity and support this fall season,

St. Theresa Catholic School
