This Week at St. Kateri Tekakwitha (Feb. 14 to18)

Wear Red,Pink or Purple on Monday, February 14, 2022

Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to once show our school spirit. We encourage everyone to wear red, pink or purple to show love for one another. It is believed that  St. Valentine was a priest and doctor in Rome who lived in the early days of the Church when Christians were being persecuted.  During this persecution Valentine apparently sent letters of encouragement to those who were imprisoned and would sign them, “From your Valentine,” A Valentine according to the law of love

Daily Covid Screening 

Students need to continue to confirm they’ve completed and passed their daily self-screening every day they attend school  in person.  Students  must complete the Provincial Screening Tool followed by the Daily Screening Confirmation Form.  We would ask our Parents/Guardians to sign the form and return it to school with their child daily.
