Hello Parents and Guardians,

We just wanted to let everyone know that we have started to notice an increase in students away or being picked up for different stomach illnesses.  We continue to encourage proper hand hygiene and extra room cleaning.

On another note, a reminder that Friday, Nov. 8th is a board wide PD day.  There is no school for students.

Thanks,

Sean Crookshank

Dear Our Lady of Mount Carmel Families,

This is a friendly reminder that tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness. As part of our PinkTober initiative, we are raising funds to support this important cause. We kindly ask that all students wear a pink shirt tomorrow and bring in a donation of $1 to contribute to the fundraiser.

Thank you for your support and participation in helping us positively impact the community.

Warm regards,
Our Lady of Mount Carmel School

Welcome Back Liturgy

Hello to all of our new and returning OLMC Community members,

Please join us this week for our Welcome Back Liturgy. If you are new to our community, every month or 2 we transform our gym into a place of worship. There will be readings done by Mme Manangan's grade 4/5 French Immersion class, as well as songs performed by our School Choir. All are welcome to join us in prayer this Tuesday, September 10th at 1:15pm. 

We hope to see you there!

Blessings,

Mme Morris and Mme Manangan

Morning Drop Off

Please remember when you are dropping  your child in Grade 1 to 6 in the school yard that parents/guardians are not permitted to remain on the yard for safety reasons.  If you choose to wait to see your child in please wait either on the other side of the fence by the parking lot/portable or the edge of the yard by the baseball field.  Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

Walk a Block

Did you know that walking all or part way to school helps create safer school zones by reducing vehicle congestion? If you live too far away from school to walk the whole way, consider parking 5 to 10 minutes away from the school and walking the rest of the way. Take this small step to help make school zones safer for everyone!   OSTA has designed a  Walk-a-Block
