Crusader Parents - here is your shortened WAAG!
In September, our Lakeland Catholic schools spent time reflecting on the Catholic Social Teaching of Human Dignity—reminding us that every person is created in God’s image and deserves respect, care, and compassion.
As October begins, our focus turns to The Common Good. This teaching calls us to look beyond ourselves and work together so that every person has the chance to thrive.
You can learn more about all of the Catholic Social Teachings, along with helpful resources for your family, at: https://www.lrcssd.ca/page/catholic-social-teachings

What an incredible day on the trails yesterday! We’re so proud of all our Crusaders who participated in the mountain bike race — their energy, determination, and team spirit were on full display.
Our students had an amazing time riding and representing our school, and we want to give a big thank you to the LSAA for putting together such a well-run and exciting event!

Today, Assumption Jr Sr High School students completed a Journey to Reconciliation. Students walked outside learning about Truth and Reconciliation, the meaning behind Orange Shirt Day, and what they can do to support efforts across the country in a spirit of unity and peace. Students were treated to Taco in a Bag for lunch as they learned about the history of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. Looking good Crusaders!

Today, two of our three Lakeland Catholic Schools in Cold Lake, received concerning phone threats. Out of an abundance of caution, St. Dominic Elementary School, Holy Cross Elementary School and Assumption Jr/Sr High School moved into Emergency Response Procedures.
All students and staff are safe, and our emergency protocols were followed with care and professionalism. We are especially thankful to the RCMP for their diligent response, ongoing support, and clear guidance as we worked together to keep everyone safe. We continue to work in collaboration with them.
We are grateful for the compassion shown across our school communities.

AJSH, you showed up, and our community was right there with you as we broke last year's record for funds raised for the Cold Lake food bank! The final number will be announced tomorrow, along with the weight of our food donations. Thank you to our community for supporting these students in their endeavor to stand behind the Cold Lake food bank and ensure no one has to go hungry.
