🚌 Ready, set, ride safe!
Bus safety came to life today at École Notre Dame Elementary School as our Kindergarten and Grade 3 students welcomed Mr. Justin and his puppet sidekick for an energetic, hands-on lesson!
With plenty of giggles and fun along the way, students learned and practised important bus safety skills, from getting on and off the bus safely and staying seated to listening to the driver, being aware of their surroundings and knowing what to do in an emergency.
Most importantly, students learned that everyone has a role to play in keeping the ride safe. Following bus rules and routines helps drivers stay focused on the road and helps ensure every student gets where they need to go safely.
The lesson also connects to our Catholic Social Teaching focus this month, Human Dignity. Learning to protect ourselves and others, showing respect and looking out for one another are meaningful ways we recognize the value and dignity of every person.
A big thank you to Mr. Justin for making such an important lesson fun, memorable and meaningful for our students! 🚌
Safe riders. Caring community. Everyone belongs.

On Sunday, École Notre Dame Elementary School staff joined Fr. René and parishioners at St. Louis Parish for Mass, where they were warmly introduced to the community.
Gathering together in faith reflects the shared values that guide Catholic education and support children as they learn and grow.
Thank you to Fr. René and the St. Louis Parish community for the warm welcome and for the meaningful connection shared with ÉNDES students, families and staff.

Sunday Gospel: In today's gospel, Jesus tells us we must forgive others limitlessly, because God has already forgiven us. Holding onto grudges and refusing to forgive, in the end will rob us of our peace...forgiving others gives us peace of heart, mind and healing.
Évangile du dimanche : Dans l'Évangile d'aujourd'hui, Jésus nous dit que nous devons pardonner aux autres sans limite, parce que Dieu nous a déjà pardonnés. Garder de la rancune et refuser de pardonner finit par nous voler notre paix... Pardonner aux autres nous apporte la paix du cœur et de l'esprit, ainsi que la guérison.

"Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I among them." Today's gospel shows us that Jesus is present to also help guide the community through difficult decisions of accountability and peace making.
"Là où deux ou trois sont assemblés en mon Nom, Je suis au milieu d'eux." L'Évangile d'aujourd'hui nous montre que Jésus est présent pour aider aussi à guider la communauté à travers les décisions difficiles de responsabilité et de recherche de la paix.

September is the month we reflect on the Catholic Social Teaching principle of Human Dignity.
At Lakeland Catholic School Division, we believe every person is created in the image and likeness of God. This belief shapes how we welcome one another, build relationships, and create learning environments where every student is known, valued, and respected.
This month's Catholic Social Teaching reminds us:
Each person is sacred, made in God's image to know, love and serve Him & deserve to be respected.
As we begin a new school year, may we remember that every interaction is an opportunity to honour the dignity of others and reflect Christ's love in our words and actions.

Sunday Gospel: Matthew 16:21–27
In today's gospel, Jesus tells us that following him comes with expectations... surrendering personal desires, accepting suffering for His sake, and aligning our life with God's plan rather than worldly success.
Évangile du dimanche : Matthieu 16, 21–27
Dans l'Évangile d'aujourd'hui, Jésus nous dit que le suivre implique des exigences... renoncer à nos désirs personnels, accepter la souffrance pour son nom, et aligner notre vie sur le dessein de Dieu plutôt que sur la réussite terrestre.
