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.

Building Community and Connections at Lakeland Catholic
As a Lakeland Catholic family, we are deeply committed to ensuring every student feels a true sense of belonging. Guided by our faith, we strive to create a home where all are welcome, safe, and celebrated.
Yesterday was dedicated to strengthening those connections and honoring the diverse cultures within our school community through prayer, fellowship, and shared experiences. We were reminded that while we may come from many different parts of the world, we are united in God’s love. Each student’s story and unique strengths enrich our schools and help broaden our understanding of the world around us.
Every student heard the message clearly: at Lakeland Catholic, all are welcome and all belong.
A heartfelt thank you to:
• Fr. René for his beautiful blessing upon our students
• Remie Pilapil and C.K. for providing an incredible meal
• Our student leaders who organized team-building activities and games
• Students who shared prayers in multiple home languages
• Action for Healthy Communities, a non-profit settlement and integration organization, for joining us and connecting with our students
Thank you to everyone who helped make yesterday a meaningful celebration of community, culture, and belonging — what a blessing for our Lakeland Catholic community.

Madame Annie's Grade 9 students spent time this week developing their winter travel skills while snowshoeing as a team!
Students practiced travelling together in deep snow while learning important group roles such as the lead and the sweeper, making sure no one was left behind. They also worked on techniques for moving efficiently uphill and downhill in snowy conditions.
Lots of deep snow, lots of progress, and plenty of fun along the way! Great days of learning and enjoying the outdoors at AJSH!

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.

Congratulations to Matthew in Grade 9 and Alexa in Grade 8 for being drawn as the winners of our Small Things with Great Love draw for the month of February! Matthew and Alexa each won a gift card in recognition of demonstrating small things with great love through their actions at Assumption School.
As we wrap up the month of February, we move from highlighting February’s Catholic Social Teaching of Economic Justice to March's Catholic Social Teaching of Subsidiary and the Role of Government. This teaching outlines the critical task assigned to government officials and leaders of recognizing, respecting, reconciling, protecting and promoting the rights and duties of citizens.

Doing Small Things with Great Love — Every Day!
At Lakeland Catholic, safety and belonging are lived daily in our classrooms and hallways.
A greeting by name.
An invitation to belong.
A kind word.
Standing beside someone who feels alone.
Because every child is created in the image and likeness of God, dignity is inherent and belonging is intentional.
This is how we form hearts in Christ — by doing small things with great love, every day.
Christ our Model. Children our Focus.

Wear Pink on Wednesday, February 25!
In Miss. Murray's Grade 7 Science class, students explored heat transfer in a hands-on lab, roasting marshmallows while testing conduction on a hot plate, convection with a tealight candle, and radiation using a candle warmer. It was amazing to see curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking in action as they connected their experiments to real-world science. Learning has never been so sweet! 🍫
