Terry Fox Run

On Monday of last week, all students and staff at All Saints High School participated in our Terry Fox Run.  Students did a circuit around the school community, bringing awareness to this worthy initiative.  Students have been raising money for the cause for a week now, and individuals are still able to donate online or through their homeroom teachers until Tuesday, October 4th.

Welcome Masses at All Saints

Last week, Fathers Virgil and Daryold joined us to open our school year with Masses for all students and staff.  The themes for the Masses were based around our Board Spiritual Theme: Sent to Be the Good News.  Students were encouraged to make this year an opportunity to share with others and to get involved.  We appreciate the company of Father Virgil and Father Daryold, and appreciate the team of staff and students who worked to put the Masses together.  A special thank you to Vito Michienzi who handled the organizing

Christian Community Day

This Friday, October 7th, the entire staff at the Ottawa Catholic School Board comes together to celebrate Christian Community Day.  This is an opportunity to set academic and spiritual direction for the school year.  Friday is a Professional Development day in all OCSB schools.

 

Student Council Dance

Math Homework Help

Homework Help is a valuable math resource for students in grades 7 to 10, as it allows them to access live, anonymous tutor chat sessions with certified Ontario teachers. In these sessions, the tutors will guide students to solve math questions after school hours. The live Homework Help chat room service is available for students from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM Sundays to Thursdays.
