October is here and we are getting ready to celebrate Halloween together again at last. Our Halloween Dance Party is happening on Friday, October 21st. All families of St. Gerard School are welcome.

The grade 8 class has begun their study of prehistory in social studies. We are examining the lives of some of our earliest human ancestors.

We have begun a unit in French, in which we explore the concept of investigation through examining some mysteries, which need solving.

Picture day will be upon us soon. Remember to wear a clean and fresh uniform, and make yourself look your best on Tuesday, October 25th.

September is upon us once again and the grade 8 class is getting back to work after wonderful summer of fun and relaxation.



The grade 8 class has begun working on a novel journal in ELA. The class is listening to Matilda by Roald Dahl and keeping a listening response journal. We will also be starting our 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, then we will begin our unit of study about our pre-historic ancestors.





St. Gerard School’s annual Meet the Teacher BBQ is taking place the evening of Thursday, September 15th; all families of St. Gerard students are welcome.



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