Ms Marcuzzi's students receive praise for efforts.

By Anonymous -

Many of the students from F.J. Brennan were given a lot of praise by locals who appreciated their efforts for the Goodfellows organization.  Here is a letter that one local neighbour wrote in appreciation for all students but in particular Joshua Mazzanti and Collin Burko for their comportment on the day.

Dear Ms. Marcuzzi,
What a great idea to canvas for Goodfellows with your students! I live on Ford Boulevard, not too far from Brennan. Your students came by today, and you should know, that they were most polite and courteous. I gladly made the donation. Unfortunately, they told me I was the only one home on the street.... Hopefully more will donate on the street.
As a retired principal, who worked primarily in west end and inner city schools (I retired from ICS)  many of my families  looked to Goodfellows not just for their Christmas baskets, but as a source for boots and shoes, as well as groceries, when there was a lot of month left at the end of the money. As we know, the need will only become greater.

Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,

Carol A. Wilk
(retired principal WECDSB)

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.
