BRUCE GREY CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD – VISION STATEMENT
Committed to a vibrant Catholic education, we ensure quality learning experiences through community partnerships that nurture each student in mind, body and spirit and
embrace the teachings of Christ, giving witness to Gospel values.
End of the School Year Prayer
Dear Lord, our education was possi-
ble because of many important peo-
ple. We thank you for our parents,
who brought us to you in baptism,
were our first teachers, and brought
us to this school. We thank our school
staff, who help us pray and guide us
to be the best we can be. Thank you
for their patience, their guidance,
their creativity, their compassion,
their wisdom, and their love of learn-
ing. May we always use what we’ve
learned to the best of our ability.
Amen

SUMMER LEARNING ADVANTAGE CAMPAIGN – REMINDER Summer is coming and so is Summer Learning Advantage.
Now is the time to plan activities that will keep your child’s mind busy and
actively involved during those long and lazy days of summer. One suggestion
is the Learning Advantage Workbook in English or French. Each Activity
book offers 192 fully coloured pages designed to reinforce and maintain
students' academic learning skills over the summer . There is a different activity for each grade - from Junior Kinder-garten to Grade 7. Each grade level book features units aligned with the Ontario curriculum; parent information pages,
evaluation forms; follow up activities and a family focus. The cost of each book is $20.00. Visit www.learningadvantage.ca to
download a free unit of the book you would like to order. Order forms have been sent home. Please have your orders back to
the school by June 10th.

Honesty Honesty is being sincere, open, trustworthy in all we say and do. Honesty is a mark of a disciple of Jesus, who is the way, the TRUTH and the life.
“Conscience is God’s built-in warning system. Be very
happy when it hurts you. Be very worried when it
doesn’t.”
You can reinforce the virtue of honesty by using your Catholic Culture of Deep Caring calendar
at home.
Our Catholic Culture of Deep Caring Calendar
Week One •I understand and accept myself as I
am, as a child of God.
Week Two •I admit my mistakes.
Week Three
•I tell the truth kindly and tactfully to help others.
Week Four
•I am sincere and trustworthy in my relationships.

Families are also encouraged to send a water bottle with their child that can be filled periodically throughout the day. On days when the air quality is poor and the humidity high we will have a shortened outdoor recess period. Open back, tube/tank tops, spaghetti straps and muscle shirts are not permitted by themselves or under other clothing. Sleeveless tops with a shoulder band of at least the width of three fingers are acceptable. Shorts, skirts, skorts and dresses are expected to be of a modest length (width of wearer’s hand at knee).
