Across Lakeland Catholic Schools today, staff are taking part in Pathways to Excellence professional learning — a dedicated day focused on enhancing student learning.
These days begin with faith formation, grounding our work in the belief that Christ is our Model and children are our focus. Educators then come together to focus on literacy and numeracy, strengthen classroom practice, and share approaches that support student success across grades and schools.
Pathways to Excellence days are intentional and purposeful. They provide time for collaboration, reflection, and alignment so learning remains consistent, meaningful, and responsive to student needs.
This work matters. It supports teachers, strengthens classrooms, and directly benefits students — academically, socially, and spiritually.

Today is Family Literacy Day! May we celebrate the precious gift of reading together as families. Whether it’s reading a bedtime story, sharing Scripture, or exploring a new book, these moments nurture faith, connection, and curiosity.

Last week, our school community shared a beautiful journey for Christian Unity Week. Students across all grades visited various local churches, seeing firsthand how our diverse traditions are united by the same hope and love of Christ.
In addition, Mrs. Scoles visited every grade to share a powerful reminder: we are called to be the "light of the world," and that light is meant to be shared! The classrooms were filled with the sound of students singing "My Lighthouse," a joyful commitment to letting their light shine and spreading God’s love to everyone they meet.

Sunday Gospel: In today's gospel, Jesus starts His public ministry. Jesus proclaims the kingdom of heaven is near. He calls upon His first disciples to be "fisher of men", to bring people to Christ. Jesus continues His ministries by going around teaching, preaching and healing. Ways we can follow Jesus: Pray as a family, talk to God in the silence of your heart and volunteer(serve).
Évangile du dimanche
Dans l'Évangile d'aujourd'hui, Jésus commence son ministère public. Il proclame que le royaume des cieux est proche. Il appelle ses premiers disciples à être des « pêcheurs d'hommes », afin d'amener les gens au Christ. Jésus poursuit son ministère en allant partout pour enseigner, prêcher et guérir. Comment pouvons-nous suivre Jésus ? Prier en famille. Parler à Dieu dans le silence de notre cœur. Faire du bénévolat (servir les autres).

Across the Division, students engaged in meaningful learning that built literacy and numeracy skills, encouraged problem‑solving, and strengthened confidence. From Learning Strategies at Assumption, to one‑to‑one literacy instruction at Holy Cross, to Grade 5/6 goal setting in Wellness at Holy Family, to numeracy work and shared reading at École Notre Dame Elementary, classrooms remained focused on learning that supports the whole child — academically, socially, and spiritually.
Students who were unable to attend were provided with learning activities to support continued learning from home.
Thank you to our families, staff, and students for their dedication to learning today. The day reinforced the importance of consistency and connection for students.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday!

Hot Lunch only exists when we have volunteers. We have several committed parents, but the more volunteers we have means the less shifts you have to work. Reach out and lend a helping hand.

Sunday Gospel: John the Baptist introduced Jesus to the world as the sacrificial "Lamb of God." He shared his firsthand account of the Spirit descending like a dove onto Jesus. Showing to us all that Jesus is the Son of God, sent to baptize humanity through the Holy Spirit.
