Greetings!
We would like to
welcome you and thank you for your support. This project is a very
special one to us, our students, and our community. We look forward
to sharing this journey with you all! Please be sure to check here
regularly as there will be updates as to how our project grows! We
look forward to working with each and every one of you!
Our mission
statement is: "Dr. Dan Offord believed that all children
deserve the right of full participation in community life. Assumption Catholic School and the greater Vanier community members
advocate that each generation of children renew the health,
creativity and spirit of their surroundings. It is this powerful
belief that fosters the vision to create a healthier and safer
environment for children to play and peacefully learn every day. Our
goal is to create a safe and inclusive place - as well as a place of
pride for students and community members of Vanier. It is
through this vision that we aim to involve all stakeholders in the
revitalization of Assumption Catholic school’s grounds. All of this
is embodied in our school motto: "Take care of ourselves, Take care of each other and Take care of this place".
Due to the amount of space allotted for
sections of this webpage, the webmaster was unable to fit the French
translation of "Let Them Be Kids"; so here it is:
"Let Them Be Kids" est
un organisme à but non-lucratif, formé de bénévoles, qui a pour
but de promouvoir un esprit de communauté tout en créant des
terrains de jeux, des pistes d'hébertisme et des aires de planche à
roulettes à travers le Canada. Ces projets laissent la trace
de membres qui auront inspiré la communauté à se rassembler dans
un but commun et de parvenir ainsi à solidifier des liens d'entraide
et de fraternité dans toute la communauté.
Things we have done and are still doing within our school community:
- We had a Penny Drive-students brought in an abundance of pennies!
- The grade 5 class is excited to announce the start of our fundraiser for the Assumption Catholic School Play Structure. Please help us raise money to pay for the new play structure to bring more fun to our playground.You can help by purchasing some of our Greeting Card packages. The package has five greeting cards. Each card has a different work of art created by a student in the grade 5 class.Sending a greeting card created by us is a great way to send a message to someone you care about and also a great way to support a worthy cause: Art and Places for Children to Play in Vanier.We are selling the cards in packages of 5 for $10.00.
