The Saints of the Toronto Catholic

District School Board

We Celebrate with the following schools on their Saint/Name-sake Feast Day:

January 18 – 24

St. Sebastian – January 20

St. Agnes – January 21

Mary Ward – January 23 Loretto Abbey – January 23 Loretto College – January 23

St. Francis de Sales – January 24



Mary Ward We recall and celebrate the founder of one of the many Religious Orders who helped make Catholic Education grow in Ontario and in Toronto. Loretto Abby and Loretto College were founded by the Loretto Sisters. Their founder was Mary Ward. She lived in England at a time of great conflict and formed a community of women who chose to serve God in any way they could. This month’s virtue is courage. Mary Ward was a good example of someone with a lot of courage to keep on her work and plans in the face of people who did not want her do it.

One of her friends said for Mary Ward: The name Jesus was her first and last word, the beginning and ending of all her prayers.

Mary Ward - her own words

In the name of Jesus we pray, O my God, how generous you are And how rich are those to whom you choose to be a friend We trust in you. We find in you whatever consoles and gladdens us. Guide us in our lives. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen

Professional Development Day Success: On Thursday December 11, 2008, an environmentally focused Professional Development day was held for interested teachers. It was attended by teachers representing approximately 25 schools. The themes of “systems thinking” and “biodiversity” were presented by Nancy McGee of the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority and Alan Crook from the Ministry of Natural Resources, respectively. The feedback was very positive for this PD, and will result in the students from those 25 schools having more enriched environmental educational opportunities.

2009 Top ‘9’ ENVIRONMENTAL RESOLUTIONS

1. Bring re-usable bags to the grocery store. 2. Remember to reduce packaging before

thinking about how to re-use or recycle it. 3. Become less of an energy user, starting

with lights off at home and at work. 4. Try to buy more locally grown food, less

processed food, and incorporate a meat free meal into more than one meal a week.

5. Drink “free” tap water, before spending money on bottled water.

6. Use less harmful cleaning products for household chores.

7. Attempt to try car-pooling, using public transit, or walk/ride to work or the local store.

8. Try to volunteer or become more active in environmental issues that will affect future generations.

9. Use less water.

EcoSchools Important Reminder For those schools striving to become certified EcoSchools this year, it is imperative that you have an ecoteam in place (including students) and the initial ecoreview for Energy Conservation and Waste Management completed before the end of January. Without these done you stand no chance of being certified! If you need assistance do not hesitate to contact one of the TCDSB ecoteam members. APRIL 30TH IS THE FINAL DUE DATE FOR SUBMITTING YOU CERTIFICATION BINDER.

CEC Environmental Refresher for 2009: On Wednesday January 21, 2009, the Atrium of the CEC will be filled with environmental information for all staff and visitors to the CEC to view. The day is designed to remind everyone of the important environmental contributions that individuals can make towards improving the environment at home & work. Stop by, and hopefully learn something new!

Jean Vanier Student Wins at “Shakespeare on the Platform” On Friday, November 28, Sabrina Moreno, a grade 12 student from Jean Vanier Catholic Secondary School, competed and won 3rd place in the 19th annual “Shakespeare on the Platform” competition. She also won in the Best Soliloquy category. “Shakespeare on the Platform” is a competition funded and hosted by the English-Speaking Union of Canada and is open to all students across the GTA.

This competition requires that the students memorize and recite a set sonnet, a sonnet of their choice, and a soliloquy or monologue of their choice on a bare stage, with no costume or props. This year, all eleven competitors were required to perform sonnet #55. In addition to this set sonnet, Sabrina performed sonnet #29 as well as a soliloquy in the role of Helena from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Although “Shakespeare on the Platform” has been running for nineteen years, this is the first time Jean Vanier has taken part in this competition, making Sabrina’s win for best soliloquy a great accomplishment. In addition to practicing in anticipation of this competition, Sabrina has also been working on an independent short film that she wrote, produced, directed, and edited, entitled, Eve as well as a short film that is currently under post-production, entitled The Criminal, which she co-directed, adapted, and produced.

Sabrina Moreno receives the Melvin Kenny Trophy for Best Soliloquy and other prizes from Captain Frank Merlo, CD, of the Governor-General's Horse Guards, at the Shakespeare on the Platform competition, November 28, 2008.



Let us remember in prayer the souls of the deceased members of the TCDSB

community and their loved ones, particularly the following who have died recently... for these we pray:

May the angels lead them into paradise. May the martyrs come to welcome them into the

new and eternal Jerusalem. The holy sacrifice of the Mass will

be offered for their souls. May they rest in peace.
