VIRTUE OF THE MONTH
The virtue of the month for June is Patience. It is such a fitting virtue at this time of the year not just for the students but for us educators and parents. It feels like it is go, go, go (for some of us it might feel this way all year round!) and that commitments and final preparations before the summer break comes keep piling up. The virtue of patience reminds us that all though we want to hurry up and get things done, or have things come, we need to rest in the watchful embrace of God. As we know from Elijah, we can’t find God in the noise, but in the silence “a tiny whisper sound”. When we are trying to be patient, it is good to stop and listen to the tiny whisper of God’s voice.

Ms. De Sousa has a depth of knowledge of the redesigned curriculum, is well informed in managing diversity in the classroom, is very active in her parish and possesses and overall love and commitment to children. Karen is a recent graduate of SFU and has been working full-time as of late in a grade 2 classroom in Richmond.

VIRTUE OF THE MONTH
The virtue of the month for May is Equality. The virtue of equality aligns itself closely to justice. It is not about treating people the same, but with the same standard. As Jesus said “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.” (Luke 11:46). At school, we show equality by teaching the students about rules and how to treat others.
UNIFORM FITTINGS
Effective this week you will be able to come to the school every Tuesday afternoon from 2:30-3:30 and/or Thursday morning 8:30-9:15 for uniform fittings. This is being done by the school, not Cambridge Uniforms. We do not accept orders, you will need to place your own order. Please note that Cambridge Uniforms will be having a no GST sale week, the week of June 20th. If you wish to take advantage of this sale, get your child(ren) fitted and then place your order the week of June 20th. Uniform fittings will take place in the PE office, by the gym.
PROJECT ADVANCE 2016
The 2016 Project Advance campaign is underway. Our funds this year will go towards further seismic upgrading and improvement of St. Bernadette’s Elementary School. Our parish goal remains at $150,000. Once we have raised $58,000 for the archdiocese, anything extra comes back to the parish. To donate, you may give your pledge card to the volunteers after weekend masses, or you may detach the pledge form from the Project Advance brochure, or go to the secure online donation site at: www.projectadvance.ca.
COMMUNICATION
Dear Families,
I would like to thank you for your patience as we navigate through our new communication system. At the beginning of this year we switched to a more collaborative system where multiple staff can contribute to a newsletter that is meaningful and beneficial to all families. We also wanted to move away from sending out mass emails as we were finding that the system was unreliable.
At first the switch seemed seamless. After a few months we became aware of several issues and were unprepared for the continuous hurdles we faced. Over the last few months we have been operating under solving one problem just to have another problem replace it. It has caused families to miss newsletters, rushed efforts by us to get a newsletter out which has caused errors and missing information, and a lack of continuity in our communication practice. The goal is to have a system that is efficient, cost effective, and professional. So far we have not reached our goal, however, I hope that with this last upgrade and correction, we can finally have a communication system that is worthy of our school.
In the meantime, we will continue to send out PDF versions of our newsletter via email and to update our school website with current issues of the newsletter. We know we have many options moving forward with how we communicate with parents and we are currently looking into those options. We hope that after this week our issues are finally resolved. Until then, we will continue the current practice.
