News from Vanier - Week of May 3 - 7, 2021

5/3/2021

 
Dear Parents and Students,
 
It looks like Spring is finally here!  More students are going outside on nice days which is great.  We should all be going outside during the day.   Please encourage your child to go outside at lunch.  We all need natural light and fresh air to be our best.  It really does make a difference.
 
We only have 6 weeks of school left (including this week!). There is a lot of support available for students to finish strong this year.  Please encourage them to contact the student support teachers, the Learning Assistance teachers and the counsellors if they feel they need extra help. 
 
A reminder to parents:  Grade 8 and 9 students must be up to date with their assignments to have early dismissal on Wednesday.  They must check with all of their teachers before the early dismissal time. 
 
Prayer for the week:
Dear Lord, Thank you for the gift of faith in you that you have blessed me with. I will continue to put all my trust in you.
And Jesus said to him, “Go, for your faith has healed you.” Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road. ~Mark 10:52
