📬 St. Kateri Tekakwitha CES – Weekly Update
May 19, 2025
Dear St. Kateri Families,
We hope you had a relaxing and joy-filled Victoria Day long weekend surrounded by family and friends. With the sunshine making a welcome return, we’d like to gently remind families about our expectations for warm-weather attire at St. Kateri Tekakwitha CES. (You can refer to our school website or previous emails for more details.) To help students stay comfortable during outdoor play, we also encourage you to send them with sun-smart items like hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
We’re also incredibly proud to share some exciting news—our amazing St. Kateri Tekakwitha Dance Team received the Virtue Award at the Spirit of Dance Showcase on May 5th! Their hard work, teamwork, and spirit truly shine.
Looking ahead, we’re delighted to invite our school volunteers to a special celebration in their honour. Our Volunteer Appreciation Tea will be held on Friday, June 6, 2025, from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. in the school library. Invitations have been sent out, and we can’t wait to thank our volunteers in person for the time, care, and energy they share with our school community.
Please take a moment to check out the important dates listed below. And a quick note—the final deadline for Love Gelato CSC orders has been extended to next Sunday, so there’s still time to get those sweet treats in!
