At the end of this last scholastic year, Saint Michael school, the only elementary school which still was associated with the Church of Christ the King, closed its doors as part of the re-organization of resources presently being undertaken by the Sudbury Catholic District School Board. Students who had been enrolled at St. Michael either went to St. Francis, a neighbouring elementary school, or to St. Benedict's, which has just begun offering Grade 7 and 8 classes in addition to High School level classes.
In addition, since the beginning of 2011, I have also been asked to assume the responsibility of pastor for the territory of Holy Trinity as well as Christ the King, which means in effect that we now include St. David school in our territory.
The first day of classes for the new school year was Tuesday, September 6, and not long afterward (last week to be exact) I had a chance to visit with staff and students at both St. David and St. Francis. In the coming weeks, I hope to be able to visit with them on a regular basis. While I was at St. Francis last week, it just so happened that two of the School Board's technical support people were also present, and one of them had a camera. The result: a picture was taken and a story was born.
As it turns out, St. Francis now has not one but five Junior Kindergarten classes, three of which are French Immersion. Each of these classrooms is also equipped with an area designated for story telling, complete with 'surround sound' for the benefit of all the children. I look forward to future visits with the children. Who knows what adventures will unfold.
