Miss Rachelle shared fascinating purple sand collected from beaches around Cold Lake. Students were amazed to learn that the sand contains magnetite, a naturally magnetic mineral. Using magnets, they had so much fun separating the magnetite from the sand and seeing science in action right before their eyes.
Thank you, Ms Rachelle, for bringing local science to life and inspiring curiosity and exploration in our students!
“Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure.”
May his example remind us to live our faith with courage and purpose.

As we celebrate Catholic Education Week (May 9–15, 2026), we invite you to reflect on the message from the Catholic Bishops of Alberta, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.
Rooted in this year’s theme, “Anchored in Christ, Beacon of Hope,” the letter speaks to the gift of Catholic education and the shared role of families, parishes, and schools in forming students in faith.

On May 1, we marked Principal Appreciation Day—a time to recognize the work our principals do across Lakeland Catholic.
Our principals are entrusted with the care and direction of their school communities. They support staff, guide students, and help ensure each school is a place where learning, faith, and belonging are present every day.
Their work is thoughtful and constant–shaped by attention to detail, long hours, and a steady commitment to keeping their schools running smoothly and with purpose.
We are grateful for each of our principals and the excellence they bring to our schools. Thank you for your continued service to Lakeland Catholic.
