Here is a glimpse of a book I am reading for Christmas break. It is so inspiring. Our students and staff would benefit from reading this book as well…2023 book club anyone? It really is life-changing!

Our annual canned food drive at St. Mark has returned with gusto. Students and staff brought in 18464 cans of food and raised $28464.00 to support local food banks. We are all proud to help our community. #mystmark #lionspride

Wearing an orange shirt is one way we can demonstrate we are an indigenous ally. St. Mark was there for it!
