All Saints Blog Week of January 21st, 2019

School Council Meeting
We invite all parents and guardians within our All Saints School Community to join us at our School Council meeting this Monday, January 21st @ 7:00pm. We welcome new attendees - no commitment required!

Parenting in Ottawa - Topics for Parents
Parenting in Ottawa’s Facebook page is a great resource for parents. Every day a new topic is presented and a nurse is available to answer questions and private messages (during business hours). Jan.23 will be a day devoted to vaping. We realize this is an issue of concern for many parents and schools alike. This will be a great opportunity for parents and educators to engage with our guest with questions or to just simply join the conversation and gain new insights.
More information: Join@ottawahealth on Jan. 23 on their #ParentingInOttawa Facebook page to learn more and ask questions to the Public Health Nurse.https://www.facebook.com/parentinginottawa

Help Our Students Program
The HOST Program is a local initiative that provides financial support each month, from September through June to hard working students living in difficult financial circumstances. Started as a modest program in 2010, the program has grown to 59 high schools over the years thanks to many donors who share our belief that a helping hand at the right moment can make a big difference in someone’s life.



This school year, we will provide $1,000 awards to 89 students in 59 Ottawa high schools. By the end of this school year, the HOST Program will have given out over $403,000 to hard-working students living in difficult financial circumstances. This is a testimony to the generous and caring citizens and organizations in our community. Our goal is to help at least one boy and one girl in every high school, a current requirement of at least $118,000. All Saints High School directly benefits from the HOST program. If you are interested in supporting the HOST program, please review the information below. Know that with your kindness, 100% of your donation will go directly to help a student and you will receive a report in July that includes a financial statement and extracts from the students’ letters describing how the award has impacted their lives.
