LCSD Early Learning Foundations Open House 2026
A Strong Start That Leads to Pathways of Excellence
Lakeland Catholic School Division is excited to welcome families with children entering Preschool (PK3 & PK4) and Kindergarten in Fall 2026 to our Early Learning Foundations Open House.
🏫 École Notre Dame Elementary School
🗓️ Wednesday, March 18
🕙 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Drop in anytime!)
At Lakeland Catholic, we believe a strong start changes everything. Inspired by our faith theme of doing small things with great love, our LCSD Early Learning Foundations are intentionally designed to build early literacy, numeracy, confidence, and a love of learning — setting children up for success long before Grade 1.
During your visit, your child will:
🌿 Explore hands-on, play-based learning centers
🌿 Build early literacy and numeracy skills
🌿 Strengthen fine and gross motor development
🌿 Engage in faith-filled activities rooted in Christ
🌿 Meet caring school staff
Families will also have the opportunity to connect with our Early Support Team — including speech-language, occupational therapy, and learning support professionals — who work alongside teachers to ensure each child’s unique gifts are recognized and nurtured.
This joyful, welcoming experience allows us to get to know your child as a learner, build a strong partnership with your family, and prepare thoughtfully for a confident start to school.
We can’t wait to welcome our littlest learners and walk alongside them with great love!
Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.

🏒 Kindness on and off the Ice
Students at École Notre Dame Elementary School had a special visit from members of the Bonnyville Pontiacs hockey team, who shared an important message about kindness and leadership.
Through the THINK message, students were encouraged to pause and reflect before they speak:
T – True
H – Helpful
I – Inspiring
N – Necessary
K – Kind
Students also joined the team in making the Pontiac Pledge, committing to show kindness and encourage it in others.
Thank you to the Bonnyville Pontiacs for taking the time to inspire our students and remind us that kindness matters — helping form hearts in Christ.

Subsidiarity and the Role of Government reminds us that decisions should be made by those closest to the situation, with support from larger systems when needed.
March’s Catholic Social Teaching calls us to recognize the importance of local voices, shared responsibility, and collaborative leadership. It teaches that while governments and institutions play an essential role in supporting the common good, they should not replace the wisdom, initiative, and dignity of individuals, families, and communities.
In our schools, Subsidiarity is reflected when we empower students, families, staff, and school leaders to contribute to decisions that affect them. It encourages us to work together, and supporting one another at the appropriate level. Solutions are thoughtful, responsive, and rooted in community.

Sunday Gospel: Jesus took Peter, James and John up the mountain to show them who He really is. Jesus shone brightly, in divine glory, wherein God spoke to them, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him." It was a glimpse of the what is to come, and a reminder, that no matter how dark life can get, there is always a light, and that the glory of our Lord, is the final word.
L'Évangile de ce dimanche : Jésus a emmené Pierre, Jacques et Jean sur la montagne pour leur montrer qui Il est vraiment. Jésus a brillé d'un éclat divin, et Dieu leur a dit , "Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé. Écoutez-le." C'était un aperçu de ce qui est à venir, et un rappel que peu importe l'obscurité de la vie, il y a toujours une lumière, et que la gloire de notre Seigneur a le dernier mot.

Doing Small Things with Great Love — Every Day!
At Lakeland Catholic, safety and belonging are lived daily in our classrooms and hallways.
A greeting by name.
An invitation to belong.
A kind word.
Standing beside someone who feels alone.
Because every child is created in the image and likeness of God, dignity is inherent and belonging is intentional.
This is how we form hearts in Christ — by doing small things with great love, every day.
Christ our Model. Children our Focus.

Yesterday we began our Lenten season, a 40-day journey of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. As we receive ashes on our foreheads, we take a moment to pause, reflect on our hearts, and turn back toward what truly matters. It’s not just about what we’re giving up, but who we’re becoming
Celebrating our success!
