🌿 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

The students voted to raise money this month for our Social Justice Project.
Priority 2: After the big snowfall in February, Mrs. MacNiven’s students headed outside for some fresh air and outdoor play as part of Physical Education and Wellness. The snow was sticky and excellent for building with so students worked together to create a giant snowman! These types of activities are key in developing the teamwork skills, spatial awareness, and communication skills that are needed for student success!
Priority 2: Mrs. Mac’s Kinders have been learning Numeracy skills through hands-on learning centres. Students are also practicing their collaboration and communication skills while working with their peers.

Happy International Women’s Day.
Today, Lakeland Catholic honours the women in our division, our schools, and our communities who lead with faith and serve with great love — often through the small, faithful acts that shape lives in lasting ways.
“The Lord bless you, my daughter. You are known as a woman of noble character.” – Ruth 3:11
May we continue to recognize and support the women whose dedication, wisdom, and compassion strengthen our schools and support student success each day.
Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.

Subsidiarity and the Role of Government reminds us that decisions should be made by those closest to the situation, with support from larger systems when needed.
March’s Catholic Social Teaching calls us to recognize the importance of local voices, shared responsibility, and collaborative leadership. It teaches that while governments and institutions play an essential role in supporting the common good, they should not replace the wisdom, initiative, and dignity of individuals, families, and communities.
In our schools, Subsidiarity is reflected when we empower students, families, staff, and school leaders to contribute to decisions that affect them. It encourages us to work together, and supporting one another at the appropriate level. Solutions are thoughtful, responsive, and rooted in community.
