Holy Spirit Elementary School

Playday will be held on Friday June 1, 2012. We are looking for parent volunteers as the older students will be particpating in their own sports day and will not be available. Please read the following information about playday – playday volunteers. The students and staff of Holy Spirit school thank you for making these days possible.

Holy Spirit School is pleased to provide parents the opportunity to preorder their school supplies for the upcoming school year. This service frees up parents from the hassle of running to and fro looking for the specific supplies teachers want. Everything is labelled and in the classroom on the first day of school. Save time and money by ordering through us. 2012- 2013 School Supply Order Forms. Order due date has been extended until May 23rd

Invitations were sent out earlier this week for the Volunteer Appreciation Tea to be held on May 24th at 1:30PM. If you are interested in attending, please be sure to RSVP to the front office as soon as possible. Parents and volunteers will enjoy a tea and munchies while being entertained by the Grades K-6 classes.

Holy Spirit School thanks all volunteers for all the work they do during the school year.

We were very fortunate to have a special guest in our school for the last week of January. David Thiaw – a world-class African drummer – joined us for a week-long artist-in-residence program and performance. Mr. Thiaw is a native of Senegal, West Africa, and has gained an international reputation for working with musicians, choirs, dance and theatre companies. He brings with him a wealth of experience in bringing the music and culture of Africa to students of all ages. Mr. Thiaw’s natural warmth and welcoming spirit were a great addition to Holy Spirit School and the students have left the experience with a better understanding of world cultures, music, language, and how to play the djembe. All in all, it was a week to be remembered at Holy Spirit!
