Celebrating a milestone
Our school board’s Mount Mary Grade 8 Retreat is celebrating the 50th Anniversary this year! To honour this milestone, we are preparing a special 'Testimonial Table' for the celebration in May, and we need your voices.
|
We are looking for students who have attended a Mount Mary retreat to share their stories. If you would like to share your experience to help us celebrate 50 years of faith and community, please come to the Chaplain's office.
|
If you are a St. Benedict parent who remembers attending Mount Mary as part of your own grade 8 retreat, we encourage you to participate as well! Reach out to our Chaplain by email at heejung.cho@wcdsb.ca.
|
|
We look forward to hearing your stories!

Lending a helping hand...

Hey Saints, Are you looking for community service hours? Drop into room 208 any Wednesday from 2pm - 3pm! The Bennies Helping Hands club has open membership - come when you can, and don't worry when you can't make it. Over the next two weeks, they will be working on the cot-making project using milk bags! Each hour you volunteer with this club counts toward your 40 hour grad requirement. See you Wednesday after school in 208!
