Our first pizza day is tomorrow!

On Wednesday September 27th, 2023, our Board and school will be recognizing Rowan’s Law Day to raise awareness about concussion safety, and to share Rowan Stringer’s story.  In May 2013, 17-year-old Rowan died as the result of head injuries sustained in a game of rugby. In March 2018, the Ontario government passed Rowan’s Law, designed to protect athletes and to educate them about the dangers of head injuries. The health and safety of our students is our top priority, and we hope to increase awareness about the dangers of concussions. Together, we can help our students prevent, recognize, and respond to concussions.

On Friday September 29th, 2023, Blessed Sacrament will recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation by wearing an Orange Shirt. Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family, and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”.  The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom, and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.
