Principal: Mrs. Marie Whelan Assistant Principal: Mr. Michael Pagacz Assistant Principal: Mrs. Lily Kucy

During the month of May, we celebrate Mary the Mother of God as well as our own precious mothers who touch our hearts and fill our lives with love, each and every day. We strive to be like Mary in our faith and we are inspired to learn and serve one another through her example. It is a time for us to be grateful for the beautiful gifts of ‘love’ our mothers share with us in so many ways. We will find time to honor and place value on them by planning gentle surprises which delight their days. This month our children are busy creating special “Mothers’ Day Gifts” which our moms tuck away each year as a cherished memory and keepsake. As a school community, we thank and celebrate the wonderful mothers who contribute in so many ways to the success of our children and our school programs. Our mothers enrich our lives, support and validate our efforts and love us forever. For this we are truly grateful.

We would like to wish all mothers and their families the peace, love and joy this special month brings.

The 110th Annual Edmonton Kiwanis

Music Festival was held in April this year.

Every year, the festival creates over 2,500 opportunities for

music students, actors, musicians and music lovers to

perform in front of an audience and receive

professional adjudication.

As always, we are proud of our Monsignor Fee Otterson

grade 4/5 choir and our Junior High GLEE. They all

performed with excellence at McDougall United Church.

“The Lion King Jr.” Grade 4/5/6 Wed. May 29th, Thurs. May 30th Mon. June 3rd

The Grades 4, 5’s and 6’s will be performing the

musical The Lion King Jr.! Disney's The Lion King has

captivated the imagination of audiences around

the world. The African savannah will come to life

on the MFO stage with Simba, Rafiki and an unfor-

gettable cast of characters as they journey from

Pride Rock to the jungle... and back again, in this

inspiring, coming-of-age tale (from mtishows website)

On Wednesday May 1, 2019,

Albertans are invited to wear a hat to raise
