St. Benedict Catholic Elementary School
Catholic Education Week Activities
May 4 – 8, 2015
As part of the celebration, a provincial theme is chosen annually that speaks to the focus of Catholic Education. The 2015 theme for Catholic
Education Week is “Catholic Education: Exploring Paths of Joy”. During this week, all schools within the Halton Catholic District School Board
will host activities that will encourage each school community and the public to celebrate this year's theme and to discover what
“Exploring Paths of Joy” means for each of us.
Throughout this week, our students will be involved in many special activities.
Parents/Guardians/Grandparents are invited to visit their child’s classroom at the designated times listed below.
Please sign in at the office to obtain your visitor tag upon entering the school.
