News from Around The School
New - Office Display - Lent
Have you seen the new Lent display in the front office?
Our Grade 1 /2's have made a Giving Tree with things that they can give to others this Lent. Jesus gave of himself; he did not give people gifts like cars or clothes. He gave things like companionship, friendship, time, a listening ear and care for those who felt left out. This is how he changed people’s lives.
