School News for October 12, 2025

Dear Holy Redeemer Families,

What a wonderful lead-up to Thanksgiving we had last week! The weather finally turned more fall-like, and we gathered for a beautiful Thanksgiving liturgy led by Mr. Caron’s class and Father Marc. Students also enjoyed a special Outdoor Activity Block in recognition of their tremendous Terry Fox fundraising efforts. Our school community truly has so much to be thankful for.

Below are a few updates and pieces of information for the week ahead and beyond.  Three items of particular note:

1. Monday is a holiday!

2. For those who signed up, the first Lunch Program day takes place on Wednesday!

3. Jack’s Bootacular Halloween Party, a fun and fantastic fundraising cause, takes place next Sunday (October 19th). See details  on Facebook.

Wishing you many blessings,

Paul Gautreau and the Staff of Holy Redeemer
