Changes

By Anonymous -
There have been changes again in the department.  We say a fond farewell to Mr. Grossi.  Good luck in his future endeavours.  In his place we have Ms. Diponti.  She has fit right in with the students and has helped them make a very smooth transition.  

Ms. Gaffan's class has been working on creating their own personal credo's.  They have done a great job.  Kudos to them for finding the words to state what they believe in.  

ISU's have begun in some of out classes.  The students are exploring bible themes such as forgiveness and faith.  They then adapt them to their life experiences.  The grade 12 classes have been looking at broader social justice issues such as sex selective abortion and suicide.  They have done a very  professional job so far dealing with these sensitive topics.  Thanks to all of them for sharing their personal stories.

Earth day is tomorrow, April 22nd.  How can we start making small changes to make a big difference in the life of the planet?   Stewardship is a social justice teaching that calls us to take care of people and the planet.  Tomorrow lets  each try to consume less and give more.

As a class, we are conducting prayers together (a different student is responsible for a prayer each day) along with daily intentions.  The poster (containing post it notes of each student's Lenten promise) is a daily reminder to keep our commitments to God and to ourselves.  ​​

 The year is coming to a close and with that, the YPI event has also wrapped up. This event has grade 10 students in the religion classes research and visit a local charity in a bid to win funds for that charity.  These funds go a long way to help out the people of Windsor Essex.  This year has posed a challenge for the teachers and students in grade 10 who participated in YPI.  However, they still rose to the challenge and produced amazing work. This year we would like to congratulate:  Maya Williams for Noah's House  Donnovan Bennett for Family Respite Services  Raein Zara, Noah Hammett, Haydin Blain, Ben Farina, Louis Tessier, Hunter Moore for Ronald McDonald House Maryam Sako, Hailey Mallett, Sedra Yousif for Windsor Women Working with Immigrant Women Also a huge congratulations and thank you to Beth Peacock and Dawn Ibrahim who have worked with these students to help them produce such amazing work.   This could not function without you both.
