The Good News - October 2, 2022

St. John XXIII Catholic School

Leadership Message

Catholic teachers are called to see every student as a child of God, created in His image and for purpose, this is a calling that takes incredible commitment and unconditional love. This Thursday, October 5th is World Teachers Day. I invite you to take a moment with your child, say a prayer for their teachers, and send in a message of appreciation to staff. Make a card, send an email, any simple gesture to share your gratitude will go a long way.

May God bless teachers on Thursday and every day!

"Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." -1 Corinthians 15:58

Read In Week

READ IN has been bringing people together for 32 years to instill the love of reading. To celebrate, you could join a book club, treasure that new book smell, pass on your latest great read to a friend, or share a story with a child in your life. No matter your approach, we are all readers!

We are looking forward to having many guests come to St. John XXIII to read to our students this week.

Picture Day was a success! Please see below for information on how to access your child's photos

Lifetouch Photography is excited to announce the launch of a new way to access photos online. After much safety and security testing, Lifetouch developed a way for families to access their child’s photo using their student ID number.
Go to our website at www.mylifetouch.ca , click on Student ID and follow the detailed instructions to view and order photos. Your child's student ID is located in PowerSchool, under their name on the main page.

If you have any questions on this ordering process, please call the Lifetouch Customer Care Line at 1.866.457.8212 or access the live chat on our website, www.mylifetouch.ca

Picture retake day is Thursday, November 3rd.
