November is the month we reflect on the Catholic Social Teaching of Solidarity.
As we gather in prayer, remembrance, and gratitude this month, we are reminded that we are never alone. At Lakeland Catholic School Division, we are called to care for one another, celebrate our differences, and support those who may need encouragement or hope.
This month's Catholic Social Teaching reminds us:
We are called to live in harmony, taking care of our brothers' and sisters'.
May we continue to build school communities where compassion, empathy, and Christ's love are reflected in our words and actions.

🏐🚨Attention Jr. Boys Volleyball Players🚨🏐Tonight's game has been RESCHEDULED for Monday at 4:15 at the Cold Lake Junior High School.
Congratulations to Lynkyn, Logan and Charlotte on having their names drawn in our monthly "Small Things With Great Love" draw for October!
These young people exemplify doing small things with great love at Assumption School and were given a ticket by a staff member to enter our monthly draw.
The monthly focus for October is Common Good. Each person is SOCIAL, called to participate in family and community. We are all connected, and so we need to work for the good of all. The Common Good means thinking about what is good for everyone, not just ourselves. We should care about people who may be ignored, who have little power or cannot speak up for themselves. A good society cares about the whole person and tries to make sure everyone can live a meaningful life.

Congratulations to the winners of the Mental Health Miles Challenge!
Students had to walk a mile on Jackson Field, log their miles by filling in a ballot at the school office and have a chance to win!
Walking is one of the simplest ways to support your mental health. You don't need to walk fast, cover a certain distance, or reach a fitness goal to experience benefits. Even a short walk can help you feel calmer, clearer, and more emotionally balanced.

They help connect students and community members to the necessary information and inspire them to achieve their academic and career goals.
Special thanks go out to our recruiters and exhibitors from University of Alberta, Cold Lake First Nations, Vancouver Film School, NorQuest College, Portage College, University of British Columbia, University of Victoria and MacEwan University!

United in Faith | GrACE Youth Summit 2026
What a wonderful way to conclude Catholic Education Week!
Today, students representing Lakeland Catholic's four high schools travelled to Sherwood Park, accompanied by Faith Leads and Division leadership, to participate in the 2026 GrACE Youth Summit.
Hosted by GrACE (Grateful Advocates for Catholic Education), in partnership with Elk Island Catholic Schools and Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, the Summit brought together students from Catholic school divisions across Alberta, united by their shared faith, a desire to grow closer to Christ, and a calling to live the Gospel in their everyday lives.
Rooted in the theme Fearless and Courageous, the day invited students to deepen their faith through personal testimonies, lessons of hope and meaning shared by presenter Michael Chaisson, prayer, meaningful conversations, and the celebration of Holy Mass.
Gathering students from across Alberta creates opportunities to build friendships, share perspectives, and strengthen their connection to the wider Catholic community. It also reminds us that while our schools serve different communities, we are united in our mission to nurture faith and inspire the next generation of Catholic leaders.
As Catholic Education Week concludes, we celebrate the opportunities Catholic education provides for students to strengthen their faith, discover their purpose, and grow as leaders rooted in Christ.
💙 Thank you to GrACE and its partners for bringing our Catholic school communities together!
