Thank you to the Life Skills department and the students from @AssumptionH for decorating the Christmas tree at the Catholic Education Centre. Your care and creativity brought warmth to our space and reminded us of the joy that comes from working together as a community. We appreciate the time and heart you put into making the season brighter for everyone who walks through our doors.
The second of the new educational challenges is digital education. Educate yourselves on how to humanize digital spaces, making them into areas of fraternity and creativity, not cages to trap yourselves in. Don’t let the algorithm write your story! Be the authors: use technology wisely, but don’t let technology use you.

Incredible work by Ms. Soulliere’s Gr. 9 Religion class. Your Black Saints in the Church collage looks great and is deeply meaningful. Recognizing these Saints is important for an accurate portrayal of history and spirituality. Stop outside room 025 to learn more. @WECDSB
