This is a copy of IHMS's weekly news article "Lion's Roar" that appeared in The Western Star newspaper on Friday, September 13, 2013.
Photo of Juan Carlos Ramirez presenting a portrait of Mary to Maria Reynolds and
Mira Ismail. Juan carried the portrait with him when he travelled to Canada to present
to Immaculate heart of Mary School. The portrait is hung in the school chapel.
It’s September again and we welcome back all of our teachers and students, and some new faces as well.
Our
school opening Mass was Friday. Thank you to Mr. Graham for coming and playing
the organ at church to celebrate the opening of the school year. We welcome
Father Edward Terry to our Parish. Father Terry visited our school this week
and even made an announcement at recess during the IHMS news.
We also
welcome to our school international students from Mexico and Brazil. From
Mexico we have Nicolas Emiiano and Juan Carlos Ramirez in grade 7 and Iker Andre and Ale Hernandez in grade 8, as well as
Wesley Calvalcante in Level 1 from Brazil. Juan brought us a beautiful portrait
of Mary to hang in our school from his family in Mexico.
Our
afterschool program began last week. Thank you to Lynn Pond Evans who has been
helping with the activities.
Our
school is busy preparing for the grand opening of our greenhouse on September
30th. We are growing cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, herbs and
pumpkins.
The
grades 3 to level 1 students have started learning about Lego Robotics.
Everyone is very excited.
