Happy International Women’s Day.
Today, Lakeland Catholic honours the women in our division, our schools, and our communities who lead with faith and serve with great love — often through the small, faithful acts that shape lives in lasting ways.
“The Lord bless you, my daughter. You are known as a woman of noble character.” – Ruth 3:11
May we continue to recognize and support the women whose dedication, wisdom, and compassion strengthen our schools and support student success each day.
Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.

Subsidiarity and the Role of Government reminds us that decisions should be made by those closest to the situation, with support from larger systems when needed.
March’s Catholic Social Teaching calls us to recognize the importance of local voices, shared responsibility, and collaborative leadership. It teaches that while governments and institutions play an essential role in supporting the common good, they should not replace the wisdom, initiative, and dignity of individuals, families, and communities.
In our schools, Subsidiarity is reflected when we empower students, families, staff, and school leaders to contribute to decisions that affect them. It encourages us to work together, and supporting one another at the appropriate level. Solutions are thoughtful, responsive, and rooted in community.

🌟 Future Careers Begin Here 🌟
Congratulations to Grade 12 student Lachlan Gillis on successfully completing his Green Certificate in Cow-Calf Operation through Alberta Agriculture.
Through hands-on agricultural training, Lachlan developed strong skills in livestock management, herd health, pasture management, and daily cow-calf operations. He also strengthened essential life skills — responsibility, perseverance, time management, and respect for the land.
The Green Certificate Program allows students to earn high school credits while gaining meaningful industry experience, preparing them for future careers in agriculture and beyond.
We are incredibly proud of Lachlan’s commitment and the leadership he has shown through this off-campus learning opportunity. His achievement reflects the strength of experiential learning at École Notre Dame High School.
🌾👏 Congratulations, Lachlan!

Celebrating Francophone Culture at Lakeland Catholic🇫🇷
École Notre Dame High School proudly welcomed Michél Bénac, lead singer of the Franco-Ontarian band LGS, for a special presentation delivered entirely in French — a true treat for our French Immersion students.
Alongside students from Dr. Brosseau School, learners had the opportunity to experience music, storytelling, and cultural reflection all in French! Michél shared his personal journey, beginning his career in English before recognizing that his path was rooted in French culture and the importance of strengthening Francophone communities across Canada.
This meaningful experience was made possible through our partnership with the ACFA Régionale de Bonnyville–Cold Lake (Association canadienne-française de l’Alberta), whose support continues to enrich French-language opportunities in our region.
Authentic language experiences like this deepen confidence, cultural pride, and connection for our students.

Doing Small Things with Great Love — Every Day!
At Lakeland Catholic, safety and belonging are lived daily in our classrooms and hallways.
A greeting by name.
An invitation to belong.
A kind word.
Standing beside someone who feels alone.
Because every child is created in the image and likeness of God, dignity is inherent and belonging is intentional.
This is how we form hearts in Christ — by doing small things with great love, every day.
Christ our Model. Children our Focus.

Ash Wednesday Across Lakeland Catholic
Today, in all of our schools across Lakeland Catholic, students and staff gathered to mark the beginning of Lent.
From quiet classroom reflections to parish celebrations, ashes were received in the sign of the cross — a simple and powerful reminder of who we are and the journey we begin together.
Here at École Notre Dame High School, the entire school community came together at St. Louis Parish for Mass celebrated by Fr. René. It was a meaningful way to start the Lenten journey inviting Christ to fill every corner of our hearts, together.

Today we mark Shrove Tuesday, a time to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the season of Lent.
As we enter this sacred season, we are reminded:
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” — Psalm 51:10
May this season draw us closer to Christ and guide our schools in faith, hope, and love.

Happy Family Day from all of us at Lakeland Catholic Schools.
Today, we give thanks for the gift of family, the place where we first learn love, forgiveness, faith, and service.
“As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
— Joshua 24:15
May this day be filled with gratitude and connection, rooted in the love we share as families and in keeping Christ at the centre of our homes and hearts.

At the centre of our faith is Jesus Christ, who teaches us what love truly looks like through sacrifice, mercy, and service.
“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
In our classrooms, in our homes, and in our daily interactions, we are called to reflect His love in the way we care for one another.
St. Teresa of Calcutta reminds us:
“Do small things with great love.”
It is often these quiet, faithful acts that reveal Christ most clearly and shape our community in lasting ways.
May we continue to follow His example, placing Him at the heart of all we do.

During Black History Month, we honour the life and witness of St. Josephine Bakhita, a woman of profound faith, resilience, and compassion.
Once enslaved, she later became a religious sister whose life reflected forgiveness, humility, and unwavering trust in God.
“May her example inspire us to carry our cross and to love always.”
At Lakeland Catholic, we are reminded that faith and action go hand in hand, and that compassion, dignity, and hope must guide all we do.
