1 On behalf of the staff of St. Teresa School, we would like to welcome you! We hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready to return to school. We are confident that the School year will be another successful year of growing and learning together. We would like to welcome new families to St Teresa School and welcome back our returning families. St. Teresa is a very busy school; the monthly newsletter is one way to keep informed and so we ask that you look for it posted on our website. The newsletter will keep you informed of events, special activities and learning projects at St. Teresa. Our monthly calendar will give you a summary of planned events and priorities set for each month of the school year. Our teachers will also send home a class newsletter that will keep you informed about what is happening in your child s classroom. We hope it will be helpful in keeping you informed. We believe that communication between home and school is central to the success of our children. All students at St. Teresa are required to have and use an agenda book that they will take to and from school daily. We ask that you share in your child s daily school life by signing their agenda book each night. The introductory pages of the agenda book outline the policies, procedures and routines in place at St. Teresa. We ask that you review these pages with your children and sign in the designated spot to indicate that you have read and discussed the information. Kindergarten children will receive a copy of the initial pages of information included in the elementary agenda book. We hope that together we can continue to build a strong Christ-centered learning community for our children. We look forward to working with you in the upcoming months and hope that you will share in all the excitement and blessings that the new school year brings. Cordially, Sra. Julieta Zelada Sra. Vivian Coulombe Principal Assistant Principal

Parents, please remember that if you are picking up your child during school hours you MUST enter through the front door, check in with the office staff and the office staff will call your child down to the office. If your child normally takes the bus home and you decide to pick them up, pleased ensure that you let the bus driver or their bus supervisor know that the student will not be taking the bus, this is so we may mark them off our list and so that the bus does not wait for a student that has already gone home.

ILLNESS AND RECESS Normally,chilldren who are too ill to go outside for recess are too ill to be at school. This is particularly true in cases of severe colds,infections and headaches. With
4 severe colds,children are unable to function well at school. In addition, they provide a source of infection for other children and would recuperate faster if kept at home.

Our gym will be turned into a roller rink for two weeks starting September 28th and rolling on through October 12 th. The cost of participating in this event was included in your child s school fees. READ IN WEEK The READ IN Week initiative began when UNESCO declared 1990 The Year of Literacy. Representatives from Edmonton Catholic Schools, Edmonton Public Schools and Norquest (then) AVC, decided to join together to raise awareness for the importance of literacy. It was determined that the significance of literacy must begin with young children Kindergarten Grade 12 and carry on to adults in the form of life-
5 long learning. Various partners have been involved in READ IN Week, from schools including the Francophone district to post-secondary institutions, the City of Edmonton and various media outlets. The focus of this initiative has been to instill the love of reading in all Edmontonians.

10 October 2018 Praise to the Lord all of you, God s servants. Blessed be the name of our God now and ever. From the rising up of the sun, May the Lord be praised, Praise to the name of the Lord! (Praise to the Lord, Klusmeier) The lyrics of this beautiful song, which we often sing at church, offer us a lens to explore what it means to walk humbly with our God. If we act justly and love tenderly, then our life s journey, with Him always at our side, becomes an act of praise. This is the heart of what happens when we walk together in God s love. Edmonton Catholic Schools is growing! As I write this newsletter, our enrolment is at 43,200 students, an increase from last year, with a final count being done on September 28. It is truly a cause for celebration that an ever-increasing number of families are entrusting us with the awesome and sacred responsibility of nurturing their children and helping them to grow to their fullest potential as members of the Body of Christ. We were delighted by the announcement from Alberta Education that the scheduled modernization for our Ben Calf Robe K-9 School will now be a replacement school instead. Plans for this new facility will increase the capacity to 700 students and will include a cultural learning space. Archbishop Smith and Bishop Motiuk joined us for a joyous celebration on September 19 for the site blessing and ceremonial ground breaking at our newest addition to ECSD, Divine Mercy Catholic Elementary School in the Orchards. A beautiful, innovative learning space for that community will open in September of We are very fortunate to have the leadership of two District Chaplains in our District. Father Julian Bilyj, who also serves as the pastor of St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Parish, has served our students and staff as a teacher and Chaplain since Father Glenn McDonald is a new addition to our team this year. Father Glenn is a priest of the Congregation of St. Basil. He was raised in Airdrie, Alberta; trained as a mechanical engineer at the University of Alberta, and was ordained at St. Basil's Church, Toronto in For the past five years, he has been serving as Chaplain at St. Joseph's College at the University of Alberta. In addition to his work at ECSD, Father Glenn will be assisting at St. Alphonsus Church / St. Clare Church. The Archdiocese has just appointed Father Andrew Leung, CSB as the Archbishop s Delegate for Catholic Education. We look forward to him joining us to celebrate and form our faith!... 2
11 Edmonton Catholic Schools has partnered with Alberta Health Services to create a series of videos that will provide parents with information about a variety of mental health topics and strategies to use at home to support their children. These videos are supported through the Regional Collaborative Service Delivery. Each month a new video will be posted on on the Mental Health page. The first video, Breaking the Cycle of Anxiety, is now available. Last spring, we announced that we would be implementing a dual credit Aviation Program in partnership with WestJet and Mount Royal University. The program has now officially launched, and we have 16 students from across the District who are taking advantage of this excellent learning opportunity. There are many ways for you to keep informed about the many wonderful things that are going on in our District. Visit or follow us on Facebook and Twitter. I wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving, enjoying time with your loved ones and celebrating the goodness of God in your lives! Loving God, Who created and sustains the universe, who loved us all into being, and who gives us every good thing, We thank you for the blessings that you bring into our lives. We thank you for the gift of life itself, and for the fresh start of each new day, We thank you for our friends, our families, and our neighbors whose human love is an image of your divine care. Help us to recognize all the good things, and magnify our desire to share what we have with others, so that they too may be grateful to you. Amen.

15 Where is God in my Life? A Reflection by Fr. Glenn McDonald, CSB Where is God in my life? This is a question I get asked a lot as a priest. Theology can point towards an answer, but only an experience from someone s everyday life will satisfy as a response. I am embarrassed to admit that even as a seminarian and later as a priest, I was having a lot of trouble seeing God in my own life. How could I then point out the presence of God in someone else s life? Thankfully, God began to teach me how to recognize His presence in my own life, which enabled me to help other people see His presence in their lives, too. He used a special relationship to do this. I am very fortunate to have my grandmother living in Edmonton. Her name is Lulu. And yes, she is as adorable as her name. During the four years I spent studying at the University of Alberta, which was only a short bus ride away from my grandmother s house, I rarely visited her. I was always too busy. I had every excuse not to go: I had homework to do; the bus would take too long; I had plans with my friends; I would go next week. When I completed my degree and was departing from Edmonton, I had to say goodbye to my grandmother. Despite the fact that I had visited her only once a semester, she was very sad to see me go. In that moment, my degree suddenly seemed empty. I could see how precious my grandmother s presence was in my life. I had been so blind, but it was too late. It was time for me to leave the city. Fortunately, I was given a second chance many years later, when my religious community appointed me to Edmonton. I resolved to visit my grandmother each Friday. And I did! Our visits followed the same pattern. I would bring her flowers. She would make me a sandwich and a cup of tea. We would talk about her week, how the family was doing, and if she had heard from relatives in Saskatchewan. I would share about my work. After an hour, I would depart. Each visit was ordinary, but I always felt fulfilled when I left like I had participated in something of great value. In 1 John, we read, Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. Over time, I realized that my weekly visits with my grandma were an experience of love. An experience of genuine love is an experience of God. I became aware that these visits were one of the ways that God was present and active in my life. What are the situations in your life in which you experience sincere love? Who are the people in your life who love you the most, with self-sacrificial, giving love? It is in these situations, and interacting with these people, that God s presence and action in your life becomes real. Today, when a student asks me, Where is God? I respond with, Let me give you an example from my own life. Her name is Lulu. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. - 1 John 4:8
16 Gaudete et Exultate of the Holy Father Francis: A Call to Holiness in Today s World Chapter One - The Saints Who Encourage and Accompany Us In March 2018, Pope Francis released an Apostolic Exhortation on the Call to Holiness in Today s World. In that Exhortation, Pope Francis commends "parents who raise their children with immense love, men and women who work hard to support their families, the sick, the elderly religious who never lose their smile" (7), as people who are living out their holiness. The Pope guides us in the direction of the Saints, who like us, were not perfect, but who never stopped trying to live out their call to holiness. When reflecting on these Saints lives we need to focus on the big picture of what they accomplished rather than on their fragile, and at times imperfect, existence. Here are a few highlights from the Exhortation that led way to some Aha moments: "Let us be spurred on by the signs of holiness that the Lord shows us through the humblest members who share a living witness by means of faith and charity (8). "We should not grow discouraged before examples of holiness that appear unattainable (11). For us, God s lay faithful, this means that we are to follow our own path and use the unique and special gifts He has given each of us. Pope Francis stresses that we are not meant to copy others' acts of holiness, but to create our own. These acts can be subtle or grand, but both have value, and both are essential in today s world. "A Christian cannot think of his or her mission on earth without seeing it as a path of holiness"(19). The saints lived their lives by following their various paths, and sometimes not everything they did was authentic or perfect; it is their lives in totality that need to be contemplated. Our lives too, need to be seen as a mission that we allow to be transformed by listening to God. Our lives may not always be perfect, but their totality will demonstrate our call to holiness. "Our lives do not have a mission; our lives are a mission (27). Friends, in our lives we are often called to many tasks; being a parent, grandparent, brother, sister, friend, daughter, son, boss, etc. As such, we tend to live our lives in a hurried and busy manner! Pope Francis asks us to slow down and remember that rushing through our lives is not living our lives as a mission, but that it is living our lives to the fullest that is our mission! It is how we carry out our day to day tasks, how we do our jobs, and how we raise our children or how we care for our aging parents, just to name a few. Sometimes it might feel as if we are living our lives as a mission impossible, but with faith and dedication to Christ, our lives can become a mission possible Go and make disciples baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (MT 28:19).
