For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you. Luke 6:38
Do we say nice things or mean things
about others? Do we complain or do we
give thanks? Do we blame or forgive?
Whatever we say or do, Jesus wants us to
remember that we have a choice in every
action and word. He reminds us that we
will be treated the way we treat one
another. How do we treat one another?
Jesus, help us stop and think about our
actions and words today. Help us choose
wisely.

Dear Parents and Students,
Our school is proud to be participating in this year's
MS Walk to help end Canada’s disease, and you can help!
Canada has the largest rate of multiple sclerosis in the world, and together we can
make a significant impact on the lives of Canadians affected by MS.
Please join us for this meaningful experience. Over the last two years we have
raised approximately $10 000.00 and have had almost 100 team members! The
walk is a fabulous family event with food, music, dancing, camaraderie and
fabulous door prizes. More information will follow in the coming months about the
Cranbrook MS Walk.
Please know, you do not need to attend the walk to be part of our team. By signing
up you make us stronger, gathering donations supports research and participating
in school fundraising creates a real team spirit!
The foundation orders a limited number of youth t-shirts. Registering as soon as possible can help ensure there will be t-shirts available in the sizes you require. Students are encouraged to register separately from their parents as this allows for accurate numbers for the actual walk as well as for t-shirts.
Our team is registered under St. Mary's School and is called St. Mary's Cares.
