Especially at this time, we recognize the immense value they hold in the lives of children, families, and communities. We keep teachers in our thoughts and prayers, grateful for the difference they make each day.

"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it."
— Proverbs 22:6

In September, our Lakeland Catholic schools spent time reflecting on the Catholic Social Teaching of Human Dignity—reminding us that every person is created in God’s image and deserves respect, care, and compassion.
As October begins, our focus turns to The Common Good. This teaching calls us to look beyond ourselves and work together so that every person has the chance to thrive.
You can learn more about all of the Catholic Social Teachings, along with helpful resources for your family, at: https://www.lrcssd.ca/page/catholic-social-teachings

💪 Today something incredible happened - Talk about doing small things with GREAT love!

Parents stepped in to cover teacher supervisions so staff could lock in on a Lunch & Learn - teachers had 45 minutes of focused collaboration and professional learning. The work we got done in that short time was outstanding and greatly impactful!

It truly takes a village and we can't say enough how grateful we are for our positive school culture and our parent community that’s always ready to step up and work together to support our students. Your support makes all the difference. 👊

Thank you to ALL parents and guardians for everything you do - we blessed to be partners in your child's Catholic Education!
