🌿 LCSD Early Learning Foundations Open House 2026
A Strong Start That Leads to Pathways of Excellence
Lakeland Catholic School Division is excited to welcome families with children entering Preschool (PK3 & PK4) and Kindergarten in Fall 2026 to our Early Learning Foundations Open House.
🏫 Holy Cross Elementary School
📅 Thursday, April 9
⏰ 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM (Drop in anytime!)
At Lakeland Catholic, we believe a strong start changes everything. Inspired by our faith theme of doing small things with great love, our LCSD Early Learning Foundations are intentionally designed to build early literacy, numeracy, confidence, and a love of learning — setting children up for success long before Grade 1.
During your visit, your child will:
🌿 Explore hands-on, play-based learning centres
🌿 Build early literacy and numeracy skills
🌿 Strengthen fine and gross motor development
🌿 Engage in faith-filled activities rooted in Christ
🌿 Meet caring school staff
We can’t wait to welcome our littlest learners and walk alongside them with great love.
Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Science Fair yesterday. Thank you to Mme Paige and Ms Mahdiuk for organizing this years fair.


We have been learning about baby animals such as how they move and their habitat. They had such a great time holding them.




Inspiring Young Minds at Holy Cross Elementary
Today, Superintendent Sheldon Germain had the privilege of joining Board Chair Anna Brockhoff, Trustee Jean Marc Michaud, Trustee Dana Chaulk, and Mayor Bob Mattice in judging at Holy Cross Elementary’s Science Fair.
The student presentations were exceptional. From creative experiments to thoughtful demonstrations, students demonstrated not only their knowledge, but also the time, dedication, and curiosity they’ve invested in their learning.
Events like this reflect the strength of hands-on learning and the confidence our students are building as they explore, question, and discover within Lakeland Catholic.
A wonderful day celebrating science, innovation, and the bright future ahead!
A sincere thank you to SE Design and Consulting Inc. for generously donating prizes in support of our student scientists.

Last year's Social Justice Project was to raise money for the new Stepping Stones building located behind the school. Holy Cross was able to sponsor a room. We have received notification that room 416 is the Holy Cross Room. Thank you to everyone who donated on behalf of HCE.

In the library, 1EH class joined Ms. Holly to read
"Hello! My Name is… Tiger Shark!" 🦈📚
The students were full of curiosity and had a fun question: how many students would it take to match the length of a tiger shark?
We measured, and it takes approximately four grade one students!

Participation reminds us that we are called to be active members of our communities—working together, supporting one another, and contributing to the common good.
April’s Catholic Social Teaching highlights the importance of each person’s voice and the responsibility we share in building strong, caring communities. It reminds us that everyone has a role to play, and that each contribution matters.
In our schools, Participation is reflected in the ways students engage in learning, share their ideas, support their peers, and take part in school life. It fosters a strong sense of belonging, responsibility, and connection.
