Grade 7 student Elijah Wachowiak from St. Monica’s Catholic School in Barrie is celebrating after winning the 2018-2019 Kids Write 4 Kids creative challenge.

Christmas carols ringing, kids laughing in their pajamas, and parents helping make gingerbread houses. No it wasn't Christmas morning, it was the scene Friday morning in Mrs. Rodman’s, Ms. Brennan’s and Mrs. Power Hann’s grades 1 and 2 classes.

Do You Hear What I Hear? Many SMO classes will be bringing some sparkle to the holiday season with the annual St. Monica’s Christmas Concert on Tuesday, December 20th.

The Christmas Garage Sale is on for tomorrow, Tuesday, December 6th, in the morning, in the SMO foyer. There will be lots of items for sale, a bake table, raffle draws. And for those shoppers who want an extra treat, there is an elf station to wrap their precious gifts. Don't forget to send a little money in for your child to spend to help children's charities and our St. Monica's School Community.

Advent is a special time of year. It is the time of giving and helping others. This Advent, St. Monica’s School is doing something special for the needy in our community. We are taking part in the Advent Giving Tree for the “Out of the Cold” program at St. Mary’s Church.

Say cheese! This year’s fall picture day, Tuesday, October 25th, is just around the corner.
