This Week @ SKTA (June 15, 2025)
Connecting Home and School
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy Father’s Day!
We extend our warmest wishes to all the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures in our SKTA community. Your strength, love, and guidance play a vital role in shaping the lives of our students and enriching our school family.
Thank you for all you do—every day, in big ways and small—to support and inspire our children.
God, Our Father
God, our Father
Bless these men,
that they may find strength as fathers.
Let the example of their faith and love shine forth.
Grant that we, their sons and daughters,
may honour them always
with a spirit of profound respect.

Graduation Mass
We would like to invite all families to join us this Wednesday, June 18 @ 9:20am for our year end Mass with our celebrant Fr. Rick Davis.
The Mass will celebrate the promotion of our year 2 kindergarten students to gr. 1 and the Graduating Class of 2025. The year 2 kindergarten students and grade 8 graduating students will lead all aspects of the Mass. Our year 2 kindergarten students will be performing a song and poem during the mass.
