God has given us many people in our lives to show us examples of
LOVE. Our families, teachers, and friends show us their love everyday. Love can be
seen in the simplest acts of kindness, such as sharing a pencil, playing a game, or

even saying “thank-you”. We should always show our love for others because love is
School Council Chair:
G. Patricio & P. Robson
greatest acts of love happen when we are angry, such as by not hitting our sibling
about seeing the good in people even when they make us angry. Sometimes the
back or not screaming back at our friends. Jesus is always with us and we should
always try to remember His most important lesson, the lesson of love, because love
is not about US-it is about looking out for the good of others.
St. Augustine's thoughts on LOVE:
He poses the question: What does LOVE look like?
His answer is simple: Love has hands to help others. It has feet to hasten to
the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has ears to hear the
sighs and sorrows of others. That's what love looks like.

Congratulations to Christian MacKenzie in Grade 8 who finished in second place at the
Board French Speaking Competition. Christian’s speech was on the history of video

BYOD: Bring Your Own Devices.
Early this month, students were given some information and forms for
the BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE program at St. Christopher School.
The GF 337 is a form that gives parental consent to the student to
access the Board’s wi-fi network with a device brought from home.
This device may include: iPads, iPods, laptops, cameras, phones and
other electronic devices. This is not an arrangement for everyday use.
Students will be asked to bring in the devices on specified days, for specified educational purposes, by a
specified teacher. Students will only be allowed to use the devices: IN A CLASSROOM, WITH A TEACHER IN
THE CLASSROOM; FOR A SPECIFIED REASON. Devices, whether brought from home or the property of the
school, are NOT ALLOWED in change rooms or bathrooms. Students have been given this information and
have been given the opportunity to ask for clarification. As with the Catholic Code of Conduct and the network
user agreement that is signed by each student, any inappropriate use of board technology and/or PEDs may
result in confiscation of the PED, discipline, suspension or termination of the services, or police involvement.
Please remember, we have ample access to updated technology for each student here at St. Christopher and
the BYOD policy is entirely optional.

A TRIBUTE TO BROADWAY: Tribute to Broadway -- Ms. Moran and Mrs.
Morris are very pleased with the progress the children are making on the Broadway
numbers. We are having lots of fun and enjoy our time together. A note about
costumes will be coming home sometime in early April (they will be simple) and we
have asked the children to have their lyrics memorized by after March Break. Thank
you! (Performances are scheduled for May 3rd and 5th at 12:30 pm and 7pm).
LEGO BRICKS NEEDED: Please donate! We are hoping to begin using Lego bricks in various
programs throughout the school. If you have some extra pieces, or sets that you are no longer
using at home, would you consider donating these to the school? We will collect them at the
main office, thank you!
STUDENTS ARRIVING LATE TO SCHOOL
We have had an increase in the number of students who arrive late to school in the
mornings. It is very important that students arrive to school on time and ready to work,
as late arrivals disrupt instructional activities and classroom routines. School starts at
8:15 am and student supervision begins at 8:00 am. Students should be at school with
enough time to line up and enter with their classes. Please note that if they do not arrive
on time to make it to their line as the bell rings, they need to enter through the front
doors and check into the office to pick up an admit slip before going to class.
ATTENDANCE VERIFICATION
As part of our Safe Arrival Program we ask that you notify the school if your child
will arrive late or will be absent from school for any reason.
We ask that you inform us by calling the school at 905-822-0721 and leaving
details regarding the absence. The answering machine is on 24 hours daily so
your information may be relayed at any time. This practice will greatly assist us to
track and verify student attendance at school.
HEAD INJURY POLICY
When a student receives an injury/bump to the head (however minor), it is a Board Policy that
we inform parents through a phone call. This is only precautionary and we ask that you check
your child when they get home for any signs of a concussion or illness.
MEDICATION
A reminder that students are not allowed to bring any medication to school. This includes
prescription and non-prescription medication. As per Board protocol, all medication must be stored
in the office, accompanied by appropriate paperwork and a doctor’s signature. Please note that this
includes Advil, cough medication, cough drops, etc. We thank you for your co-operation in this
matter. As always, we care about the safety of all our students.

Student Parliament News
March has been a very busy month for our members of Student Parliament. Our
pretzel fundraiser was a great success. We raised more than $600.00 for Share
Life. Thank you to our school community for buying the pretzels and helping us
support Share Life. On Wednesday, March 30, we presented, “A Tableau of the
Stations of the Cross” to our school. This representation of the last days and the
resurrection of Jesus were a beautiful reminder of how Jesus sacrificed himself for
us. Many members of our audience said it was fantastic and they were moved to tears. A special thank you to
all the students who spent many hours rehearsing and preparing for the presentation. We are now busily
preparing for The Crowning of Mary in May, and we will begin selling ice-cream bars in the next few weeks.
Again all proceeds will go to Share Life. The Athletic council is continuing with Primary games on Friday at
lunch, and Star Club is busy tutoring students on Wednesday at lunch. Our Youth Faith Ambassadors also
attended a Youth Conference in March. We were inspired to continue to spread our faith to the youth of St.
Christopher School. Stay tuned for more activities to come in the next few months.
At St. Christopher We are an Eco-School!
Milk Bag Mondays: Bring in your milk bags to be used for mats in the 3rd World
Tupperware Tuesdays: Bring your lunch in re-usable containers to cut down on waste.
Water-bottle Wednesdays: Buy / use your St. Chris water bottles!
No Throw Thursdays: Return all waste to be properly disposed of at home.
Lights Out Fridays: Turn off the lights to conserve energy.
ELECTRONIC WASTE COLLECTION FROM APRIL 12-22
We will be holding a two-week-long e-waste drive at our school beginning on Tuesday, April 12 and ending on
Friday, April 22. Families will be invited to bring in various electronics that they no longer need. The eWaste
Recovery Group will deliver the holding bins to St. Chris on April 12 and pick them up on Friday, April 22.

BATTERY CHALLENGE
When batteries are not recycled properly, they can end up in landfills,
where they are not only added to soil waste but can be harmful to the environment.
Call2Recycle collects and recycles over 5 million kilograms of batteries each year.
That’s equivalent to the weight of 1000 African elephants! You can do your part to
make sure more batteries are recycled by participating in the Battery Blitz School
Mission! Our mission is to recycle as many used batteries as we can by
bringing them into school and disposing them in the Call2Recycle collection
box in the office. Remember!! Before placing the used batteries in a plastic baggy please place
masking tape on each end. The school that recycles the most batteries will win a pizza party!!!
So come on St. Christopher bring in your used Batteries until April 31st.
MILK BAGS & POP TABS:
Please send all your clean and empty milk bags
to school. We are saving the environment and helping the
people in underprivileged countries who don't have a
comfortable place to sleep. The milk bags will be used to
make mats which will be transported to places where the need
is greatest. Every little bit counts! Please also collect and send
your pop tabs! They will also be recycled and used to make
useful items!

Fractions
Developing Mindsets that Promote Growth
While whole numbers represent
quantities of whole units, fractions
signify parts of whole units or parts of
sets. Although fractions are all around
us, learning about fractions may be
challenging for some children.
Identifying fractions in our
environment makes them meaningful
and easier to visualize.
What do we mean by “growth mindset”?
Mindsets change is not about picking up a few pointers here
and there. It’s about seeing things in a new way… changing
from a “judge and be-judged” framework to a “learn-and-help
learn” framework.
– Carol S. Dweck
Web Resources:
CLIPS (Critical Learning Instructional Paths
Supports)
Tips for Fostering a Growth Mindset:
Tip # 7. Provide Honest, Constructive Criticism That
Emphasizes Growth
 Work with your child to identify strategies for improvement.
 Use phrases like: “Let me add new information to help
you solve this…” or “What parts were difficult for you?
Let’s look at them.”
http://oame.on.ca/CLIPS/
Family Math Activity K – 3:
Big Idea
A fraction shows the relationship
between a part and a whole.
 With your child, gather several similarly shaped
objects, such as a piece of paper, a towel, a
placemat, a picture frame, a magazine and a book.
 Ask your child to show you one half of each object,
perhaps by using a ruler to mark the halfway point.
This is an opportunity for your child to see that
fractional portions must be of equal size.
Extension: Ask your child to show you one fourth of
each object.
Family Math Activity 4-6:
 Ask what real-life situations might these fractions describe:
Two fifths 2/5, Three sixths 3/6, Five eighths 5/8
(e.g. Five eggs have been eaten from the dozen. This represents
5/12 of the set. Can your child describe the fraction of eggs
eaten (5/12) and the remaining eggs (7/12)?)
Grades 7 & 8: Continuing
the Conversation about
Financial Literacy!
Explore Career Possibilities
Talk to your child about:
 What two things do you enjoy most in
life?
o What career possibilities are there
in these two areas?
 What are you best at in terms of your
own abilities?
o Are there career possibilities that
fit with these talents?

WORKHOP SESSIONS
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Dr. Susan Williams, Psychologist
Parent’s Guide to Reducing Stress and
Increasing Resilience in Children
Dr. Williams is currently the Director of the
Halton Centre for Cognitive Therapy and
Stress Reduction in Oakville.
She
maintained an appointment for 8 years as
Assistant Professor (PT) in the
Department
of
Psychiatry
and
Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster
University where she conducted research
on prevention and intervention with
anxious and depressed children, provided
treatment in the child, adolescent, and
adult hospital programs, and trained residents and interns in
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She has worked on the CBT
Unit at the former Clarke Institute of Psychiatry in Toronto (now
CAMH), at the Anxiety Treatment and Research Centre at St. Joseph’s
Healthcare in Hamilton, the Mood Disorders program at the former
Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital, the Adolescent Program and Eating
Disorders Clinic at McMaster University Medical Centre, and the Child
and Family Centre at Chedoke Hospital, Hamilton.
Children who are excessively stressed or anxious can underachieve
in school, have low self-esteem, be angry, sad and lonely, have
difficulty with schoolwork and have difficult family and peer
relationships. Parents have a significant impact on how well children
respond to stress and anxiety. Therefore, it is important that we, as
parents, teach ourselves healthy ways to deal with stress and anxiety
so we can pass on this knowledge to our children. We also need to
follow some fundamental parenting principles so children learn how
to self-regulate when stressed and anxious. Healthy habits learned
in childhood promote lifelong healthy habits and a happier and more
productive life.
This presentation will describe some reasons why children are more
stressed and anxious than before and help parents develop
resilience, reduce stress, improve their child’s overall well-being and
create a happier home. The presentation will be followed by a
question and answer period.
Keynote Address

Being Catholic is Cool!!
Inspiring Our Children to Deepen their Faith

This workshop will explore different avenues of the Church which
your child will find attractive. How do you encourage your child to

you all the tools to talk to your child about the beauty and value of
our Church
B
Empowering Youth to be Leaders and Achievers
Presenter: Miguel Martinez
This 45-minute workshop is called "Speaking Their
Language." This workshop does not aim to perfect you, but rather
to give you insight into your loved one's mind. This workshop will
enable you to understand and communicate better with your
youth. Results will be based on your effort and diligence in
applying the knowledge and techniques you learn. I will teach you
the power of music and movement and how you can harness that
power in order to understand and connect with the young people
in your lives.
