We are so excited to once again be hosting the Scholastic Book Fair for our students.
Did you know that sales from our book fair raise funds to support our library and library programs like Battle of the Books and the Summer Reading Challenge?
We can receive up to 50% back in product rewards or up to 25% in cash. At previous book fairs we have sold over $6,000 in books and met this goal.
What does Book Fair Week look like?
Students will be previewing the book fair on Monday, February 23rd and the morning of Tuesday, February 24th and bringing home their wish lists.
Books will be available for purchase Tues., Wed., and Thurs. (Feb. 24 - 26). On these days students will be able to make purchases when they visit the book fair with their class (teachers will send home the date that their class will be attending).
All monies sent with students should be clearly labelled with students name and homeroom.

The CISND Community and Roman Catholic Diocese of Nelson offer our sincere prayers to the families and all who have been affected by yesterday’s tragic events in Tumbler Ridge.
In this time of sorrow, we hold those who grieve in our prayers. We ask the Lord to draw near, to strengthen families, to guide community leaders with wisdom, and to bring comfort to all who mourn. May God grant peace in the days ahead.

4th Sunday of Advent – 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️ Love Candle
As we light all four candles, we focus on the greatest gift - love.
Love shows up in our actions:
💜 Being patient
💜 Saying sorry
💜 Forgiving quickly
💜 Choosing kindness even when it’s hard
God’s love came to us in the simplest way - a tiny baby born in a manger.
This week, as we prepare for Christmas, let’s look for ways to show love in our school, our families and our community.

3rd Sunday of Advent – 🕯️🕯️🕯️ Joy Candle
Today is Gaudete Sunday - “Gaudete” means “Rejoice!”
We light the pink candle to remind us that joy is not about being perfect or having a perfect day. Joy is noticing the good that is already here.
This week, let’s look for joy in:
🩷 Laughter with friends
🩷 Helping someone feel included
🩷 The beauty of music and prayer
🩷 The excitement of preparing for Christmas
May this candle remind us that joy grows when we share it.
