St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School has invited Adam Kreek, one of the gold medal winners from the Canadian eight-man rowing team in Beijing to visit the school to speak to the Intermediate classes on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 from 11:00 a.m. to 12 noon as part of the school’s Clean Air Achievers Program.

The Clean Air Achievers Program encourages children to become physically active and to walk, run, jog, etc. instead of relying on transportation which contributes to climate change.

For more information on the Clean Air Achievers Program and Adam Kreek’s visit please contact Sharon Oliver, Principal or Marlene Lee, teacher, St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School.

St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School will be celebrating International Literacy Day on Friday, January 26, 2007 at the school by hosting a Happy Seussday! Seuss-based activities will take place in the morning while parents and other community partners have been invited to the school to read Dr. Seuss books to students in the afternoon.

Jean McHarg, Academic Superintendent of Education for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board along with staff from the Greater Sudbury Public Library will also participate in Literacy Day festivities. There may even be a few Cat in the Hat characters floating around that day!

St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School will be video taping a special message for the father of three of the school’s students who is presently serving in the Canadian Forces based in Afghanistan.

Mr. Dave MacDonald, Academic Computer Instructor for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board videotaped the students singing O’ Canada and the Topolnicky children delivering messages to their dad and the Canadian Troops. The video was set up on a website, and e-mailed to Mr. Topolnicky, providing him with a link to the site, so that the troops can actually see and hear the students singing and wishing them well.
