Jesus Christ is at the heart of Catholic education. Faith and learning come together as we support the formation of the whole student in knowledge, freedom and conscience.

Q: Why isn't my bus driver answering my calls or text messages?
A: Student safety always comes first!
Our drivers are generally operating their routes during:
🌅 Morning: 6:30–8:30 a.m.
🌇 Afternoon: 2:30–5:00 p.m.
During these times, drivers must remain focused on safely transporting students and cannot respond to calls or messages while driving.
📱 Drivers will respond when safely parked and available.
Thank you for respecting this important safety practice and helping us keep students safe!

Catholic Education Week | Monday: Joy
We begin Catholic Education Week with the virtue of joy, remembering that true joy comes from knowing we are not alone and that God is present with us, even through difficult moments.
Today’s Prayer Intention
For All Catholic Schools, the gifts of the Holy Spirit—wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord—may be alive in our Catholic schools, guiding our teaching, learning, relationships, and decisions.
May we carry that joy into our classrooms, relationships and communities today.
Christ our model. Children our focus.

Parents and community members are integral in supporting and advocating for Catholic education.
GrACE, Grateful Advocates for Catholic Education, brings together voices from across Alberta to celebrate, strengthen and advocate for publicly funded Catholic education.
#IBelieveinCatholicEd @archedmonton #GreatLoveLCSD
Today, Lakeland Catholic joins Catholic school communities across Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Yukon in celebrating Catholic Education Sunday.
Catholic education is rooted in a shared mission between our schools, families and parishes. Each day, we strive to create learning communities where students grow in faith, discover their God-given gifts and learn to use those gifts in service to others.
This year’s theme, “The Power of the Holy Spirit,” reminds us that the Holy Spirit is present and at work in our lives, guiding and strengthening us as we learn, lead, serve and care for one another.
As we begin Catholic Education Week, we give thanks for our students, staff, families, clergy and parish communities who help bring Catholic education to life across Lakeland Catholic.
We also invite our community to read and reflect on the Catholic Bishops’ message for Catholic Education Sunday.
Read the Bishops’ Letter:

Catholic Education Week | October 17–23
Catholic Education Week begins this weekend! This year, we join Catholic school communities across Alberta in celebrating the theme, “The Power of the Holy Spirit,” inspired by Romans 15:13:
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Throughout the week, students across Lakeland Catholic will also learn about St. Pier Giorgio Frassati, a young saint known for his deep faith, joy, friendship and commitment to serving others.
The Catholic Education Week logo reflects the heart of Catholic education. The blue is inspired by Our Lady, while the colours in the book represent the important connection between home, school and parish. At the centre, the Chi-Rho represents Jesus Christ. The book represents both education and the Word of God, while the rays represent the light of Christ shining outward.
We look forward to a week of faith, learning and celebration across Lakeland Catholic!
Christ our model. Children our focus.

LOST & FOUND SOS!
Families, we are begging (just a little 😂)… PLEASE ask your kids to check the Lost & Found!
We have enough hoodies, gym clothes, water bottles, binders, and miscellaneous treasures to open our own department store! The office also has a number of electronic items and eyeglasses that were turned in. If you are missing something valuable, please provide a detailed description so we can check our storage for you.
All unclaimed items will be donated at the end of this week, so please encourage your child to take a look before their belongings find a new home!
Help us reclaim our space… and maybe some of your closet!
Thank you from your friends at AJSH!

Their determination, sportsmanship, and willingness to challenge themselves make us proud!
