Welcome back to school

September is in full swing and the grade 8 class is getting back to work after a nice, long summer of fun and relaxation.

The grade 8 class is currently working on the novel Silverwing by Kenneth Opel in ELA. They are listening to the book and keeping a listening response journal. We will also be starting are T.U.S.C. program in the next few weeks. In T.U.S.C. the students prepare and present weekly presentations on a variety of topics. This should be a fun and exciting learning experience.

In French we are starting our year with a unit about fast food. Students will learn about food choices as well as ordering and serving food in the context of fast food restaurants.

We are exploring the development of Worldviews in Social studies.

St. Gerard School’s annual Meet the Teacher BBQ is taking place the evening of Thursday, September 13th; all families of St. Gerard students are welcome.

Our hot lunch program will begin on September 24th.  Hot Lunch tickets can be bought in advance from the office.

A reminder to all families and students, we are hoping to sell 30 yearbooks before the end of November. Without those 30 orders, we will be unable to produce a yearbook this year, so if you are planning to buy a yearbook please get those orders in by the end of November. An order form will be found in our October newsletter, or can be picked up from the office.

Here’s to another wonderful school year at St. Gerard School.
