Mary the Mother of God – The Gospel of Life
O Mary,
Bright dawn of the new world,
Mother of the living,
to you do we entrust the cause of life;
look down, O Mother, upon us in your glory.
Grant that all who believe in your Son
may proclaim the Gospel of life
with honesty and love
to the people of our time.
Obtain for them the grace
to accept that Gospel
as a gift ever new,
the joy of celebrating it with gratitude
throughout their lives
and the courage
to bear witness to it
resolutely, in order to build,
together with all people of good will,
the civilization of truth and love,
to praise and glory of God,
the creator and lover of life.
Amen.
FAITH LIFE
VIRTUE OF ACCEPTANCE
One of the great wonders of the world
we live in is that no two people are
exactly alike. We may share
biological families or national
identity or cultural and ethnic identity
but we are all very unique and
distinct creations.
God breaks the mold every time, and
that is a fantastic fact of life!
It can also be a challenging fact of
life if it makes us afraid. Sometimes
differences are scary – especially if
we haven’t learned about or don’t
understand how people are different.
The virtue of acceptance describes
our ability to look at the attitudes and
actions of those around us and then
just stop and consider without making
judgments. The virtue of acceptance
means that we look beyond what we
see; a person’s skin colour, ethnic
background, religion, age, gender,
sexual orientation, and see a person
created and loved by God.
An accepting person…
•
•
•
•
•
Is friendly and open to all God’s
people, regardless of age, beliefs,
gender, culture or ability
Sees the positive traits in all
people even if she/he disagrees
with them
Avoids judging or stereotyping
others
Understands that there may be
more than one way to do things
Sticks up for the ‘underdog’
SUMMER READ BOOK FAIR
In the hopes of supporting your summer
reading our teacher librarian, Ms. De
Simone will be holding a Summer Read
Book Fair. Students can purchase books
during the weeks of June 1 to June 10, or
on the evening of Wednesday, June 8
from 3:30 to 8:00 p.m. The proceeds of
this book fair will be donated to our
Change for Change Program; specifically
to provide a much needed water filtration
system in Africa.
FIRST EUCHARIST
We are very proud of our grade two students who received their
First Holy Communion on Sunday, May 1, 2011, at Sts. Martha
and Mary Church. They have been busily preparing to enter into
this sacrament through study, a visit to the church and through
song practice. The celebration of the Eucharist was both a happy
and holy event. May the many blessings you receive through the
Eucharist enrich you forever boys and girls!
CONFIRMATION
Congratulations to our grade eight confirmandi who
will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on
Sunday, May 29, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. It is with great
pride that family, staff and friends will join together
to witness this very important rite of passage. We
celebrate with each new confirmandi as they begin their journey
into a full communion with the Church and become disciples of
the Good News of Jesus Christ.
CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK
Catholic Education Week is being celebrated from May 2– May
6, 2011. During this week the Catholic community celebrates the
unique and distinctive contribution that Catholic schools make to
our students, our community and our province. Catholic
Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the Mission of our
Catholic schools as they strive to integrate the Gospel values of
Jesus Christ in every aspect of the school’s life and curriculum.
This year’s theme is
“Celebrating the Spirit”
Five sub-themes, one for each of the five days of Catholic
Education Week 2011, helps students to understand the rich
meaning of this year’s theme:
Day 1… The Spirit of Hospitality
Day 2… The Spirit of Understanding
Day 3… The Spirit of Wisdom
Day 4… The Spirit of Justice
Day 5… The Spirit of Gratitude
VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION
The staff, students and School Council of Sts.
Martha and Mary school would like to show our
appreciation for all the support we have received
throughout the year from all of our volunteers. If
you have volunteered any time this year, we
would like you to join us for a reception on May 24, 2011 in the
gymnasium from 2 – 3:30 p.m.; invitation to follow.
PROGRAM
EQAO ASSESSMENTS
The grade three and six students of
Sts. Martha and Mary School
continue to prepare for the EQAO
assessments of Reading, Writing and
Mathematics. The grade three
students will write the test the week
of May 30 - June 3 and grade six
students will write during the week of
June 6 - 10. The results of these tests
will be received in the fall of 2011.
How to prepare your child for the
test? It is very important that you
take the time to talk to your child and
help reduce the anxiety related to any
type of testing situation. You should
also be sure that your child has
enough sleep, eats a nutritious
breakfast and is well hydrated. It is
important that if your child is in grade
three or six that they be in full
attendance during the assessment.
GRADE 7 AND 8 SUMMER
SCHOOL
Summer school is available to grade
seven and eight students as
recommended by the principal.
Summer school will be held for
remedial literacy, numeracy and ESL.
There is no cost for this program.
Classes run from July 4 to July 22,
2011. Hours will be 8:30 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. Busing is provided at
home school pick up points. The
deadline for applications is Friday
May 27, 2011. Classes are being
held at Metropolitan Andrei School.
Further summer school information is
available through your child’s
teacher.
SUMMER LITERACY CAMP
Application forms for Summer Literacy Camp for Senior
Kindergarten to grade six students are due Friday May 27, 2011.
Enrolment is for either two or four weeks for a fee. Hours will be
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Four week program July 4-29; two week
program either July 4-15 or July 18-29th. No
transportation is provided. Contact your child’s
teacher to discuss this possibility for your child and
to obtain an application form.
SCHOOL ORGANIZATION FOR SEPTEMBER 2011
The staff of Sts. Martha and Mary School will meet over the next
few weeks to discuss class placements for September 2011. When
determining placement, some of the criteria we consider are:
academic ability, work habits, study skills, maturity, social factors
and placement history. Due to our size, we are limited in our
placement options. When more than one class per grade exists,
we strive to create a balance of gender, ability and behavioural
needs.
Since you know your child best, we always appreciate your input
concerning any special needs your child(ren) may have. With this
in mind, we ask that if you have feedback for us, please provide it
to us in writing. We ask that you submit your feedback to the
principal by Friday, May 13, 2011. In your letter please include
your child’s strengths, needs and a description of their learning
style including the type of learning environment that would
provide your child with the most success. Please do not make
specific requests for a teacher as current and tentative
assignments may change between now and September.
When staff meet they will take into consideration the overall
needs of the students in relation to the make-up of the class. They
will also take into consideration any parental feedback they have
received. It is not always possible, given the variables that go into
devising a class, to accommodate all parental requests. Wherever
possible we will meet requests, but the final decision rests with
the principal and the teaching staff.
COMBINED CLASSES
As the population of Sts. Martha and Mary declines,
combined grades will become a necessary reality at our
school. This is a reality in many of the schools in the eastern area
of Mississauga. As teachers prepare class lists they consider
many factors, such as the learning styles of students, a balance of
abilities and class culture. Being in a combined grade is in no
way prejudicial to a child’s education. Within Ontario all schools
are bound by a strict teacher pupil ratio. This will be particularly
evident as we strive to meet the hard cap of 20:1 in the primary
grades and the guidelines of 25:1 in grades four to eight. Until we
finalize our enrolment in September, all class arrangements
and teacher placements will be tentative.
CO-CURRICULAR
TRACK AND FIELD DAY
As has been our recent tradition, a track
and field day will be held on May 5,
2011. (Rain date May 12th) During
this event, all grades 4 – 8 students will

to three events. Our track and field
team will be selected based upon top
competitors from each event. Practices
will be held before and after school
during the months of May and June in
preparation for the family and board
meets. Team members should mark
June 16, 2011 on their calendars as this
is the date for the Mississauga East
Track and Field meet at St. Marcellinus
Secondary School.

R.A.I.D.
Over the months of April and May, our
Grade 6 students are participating in a
Drug Education Program called
R.A.I.D. (Reduce Abuse in Drugs).
The seven week program was created
through the Peel Regional Police, in
conjunction with the Board of
Education. We welcome Constable
Gibbs to our school who teaches the
program every Tuesday morning.
WARM WEATHER DRESS
We would like our students to be neat,
clean and comfortable for learning.
Students are expected to dress in a
manner and attire suitable for the
occasion, and appropriate to the school
environment.
Boys must wear full-length t-shirts
with a sleeve. Girls are not to wear
anything strapless or have bare
midriffs. Tank tops and crop tops are
not acceptable nor are very short
shorts. Shirts with offensive language
or pictures are not allowed.
This directive is addressed more
toward junior and intermediate
students. A little more latitude is given
to younger students. If students do not
adhere to these guidelines, parents will
be called and/or alternative attire will
be provided. We trust you will assist
us in maintaining a sense of dignity
with respect to the clothes that are
worn to school.
Running shoes are best for outdoors.
‘Flip Flop’ style shoe is not
permitted.
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District
School Board has a Scent Sensitivity
Awareness Campaign called We Share
the Air. If you are sensitive to the
scents within the school environment,
you are not alone. Do not suffer in
silence, tell someone; a friend, your
teacher, your principal.
For more information about scent
sensitivity, visit www.dpcdsb.org and

PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES (PEDs) ON SCHOOL
PROPERTY
As part of our efforts to promote and maintain a positive Catholic
climate in our schools, the board adheres to a policy regarding
Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) on school property. In this
regard, all PEDs must be kept out of sight, turned off and not
used within school premises or during school-sanctioned
activities To prevent the loss or damage of PEDs, we encourage
students to leave their PEDs at home as the school can not be
responsible for their safe keeping.
INTERNET SAFETY/VIDEO GAMES
As parents you are encouraged to be vigilant about your child’s
use of the computer. Many of the students are
using “Face Book” “Hotmail” “Blogs” and
“MSN”. It is important that you be aware of
the messages your child may be sending or
receiving. Some of the communication is
inappropriate as are the names being used.
Please discuss this very important issue with
your child(ren). Many of the video games being played by our
children are too violent and have an “R” rating. The Minister of
Education calls this disturbing and distasteful. Also, in light of
the many abductions of children via the internet we remind you to
be fully aware of what your child(ren) is/are doing on the
computer. Always be aware of whom your children are
associating with and where they are at all times.
SAFETY FIRST
Please review the following Safe School Procedures to help us
provide a safe learning environment for your children.
1. The school day begins at 9:00 a.m. Supervision begins at
8:45a.m. Children should arrive no earlier that 8:45 a.m.
2. If early dismissal is needed, parents/guardians are asked to
pick up children at the main office and sign them out.
3. If students are arriving late due to an appointment etc… they
must sign in at the office and acquire a late slip.
4. All absences must be called in to the school’s attendance line
905-624-9625 ext. 1.
5. All parents and visitors must sign in at the office and attain a
visitor’s pass. Please wait in the office for school personnel to
meet you. All school volunteers have a volunteer identification
badge that must be worn whenever they are in the building.
6. Parents/(drivers) must never park in the driveway of the
school or leave vehicle unattended as this is a fire route
drivers could face municipal violation. Please use available
parking spots or park on Bough Beeches rather than in the
lanes currently used for buses or Kiss and Ride.
A Gift of Kindness, Twice as Nice...
You can double the impact of your
generosity
Contributions to ShareLife can have a
bigger impact than ever this year through
the ShareLife Community Challenge! A
generous donor has pledged to match all
new and increased gifts to the 2011
ShareLife campaign, up to a total of
$500,000.00. This gift applies to our
school fundraising efforts as well.
If you are a new ShareLife donor, your
gift will be doubled. If you have given in
the past but didn’t contribute in 2010,
your gift will be doubled this year. If
you’re a regular ShareLife donor and you
increase your gift from the amount
contributed last year, the increase of your
gift will be matched as well.
Whether you contribute at the parish,
online, or through our school ShareLife
fundraising activities, the impact of your
gift will be maximized in a special way
this year.

OUR CATHOLIC SCHOOL
HERITAGE
How did the Ontario government solve
separate school financial inequity?
In 1990, the Supreme Court of Canada
judged that the Canadian Constitution’s
Charter of Rights and Freedoms entitles
Francophones, where numbers warrant,
to their own school boards. Frenchlanguage district school boards and
French-language Catholic district school
boards were created. Consequently,
Ontario then had 4 school systems.
Three of them – the English-language
Catholic district school board, the
French-language Catholic district school
board and the French-language district
school board – had very little access to
corporate assessment. One of them – the
English-language district school board –
possessed most of the province’s
corporate assessment and therefore,
ability to spend much more than their
counterparts on education. Faced with this inequity and a court
challenge it was convinced it would lose, the government took the only
logical and fair step. It abolished the power of all school boards to tax
and took over all education funding. Now each pupil, no matter which
type of school he or she attends, receives the same per-pupil funding
from the government. After 150 year of sacrifice and hardship, Catholic
school boards achieved financial equity.

SCHOOL COUNCIL CORNER
THANK YOU
Thank you to Andrea Olynyk who generously shared her expertise, as a Registered Dietitian and Professor of
Nutrition, with our community on Tuesday April 19th during her seminar, “The Secret Life of Sugar”. Her
devotion to promoting community nutrition and maintaining a healthy lifestyle was greatly appreciated. Ms.
Olynyk, is a School Council member who has been dedicated to writing the “School Council Corner” each
month.
KIDPROOF CANADA SESSIONS
School Council would like to remind everyone of the Kidproof Canada seminar that has been arranged through
the Pro Grant initiative this year. Please mark your calendars to attend this educational session on
WEDNESDAY MAY 18, 2011 AT 6:30 PM. You are welcome to invite a neighbour, family member or friend
to join you and babysitting will be provided to school age children! The session will be held in the school
gymnasium and will last approximately 1.5 hours. Refreshments will available to all and a book raffle will end
off the event. Make sure you fill out the flyer, included in this newsletter, promoting this event.
RETIRING COUNCIL MEMBERS:
This year, we would like to acknowledge our very dedicated Council members who will be retiring: Cindy
Gonsalvez, Laura Arnett and Lucy Serrano. Their participation over the years has enabled your children to
benefit from the many worthwhile activities, events and services available at Sts. Martha and Mary School.
School Council has supported school programs and initiatives, such as the instrumental program, Mad Science
presentations, Grade 8 graduation, and the amplification system upgrade, through funding. They have also
organized the very successful and enjoyable Open House Barbeque and Halloween dance fundraiser.
As we look ahead to the coming year, please consider joining the group of caring, fun and dedicated parents
who are a part of our School Council. You can volunteer as much or as little time as you have throughout the
year. The example you will set for your children by actively engaging in “their world” will strengthen family
and community bonds and is in keeping with the spirit of Catholic education.
NUTRITION NUGGETS:
Reading nutrition labels proficiently is a learned skill and once you start paying more attention to labels, you
may be surprised at what you find hidden in some of the foods you are regularly choosing.
During “The Secret Life of Sugar” seminar presented in April, parents who attended suggested that I include a
lesson on how to quickly analyze a nutrition label for sugar content in this month’s Nutrition Nuggets.
The first step in becoming a sugar expert is to get a handle on how much sugar you SHOULD be consuming
daily. According to World Health Organization (WHO), less than 10% of our total daily caloric intake should
come from added sugar. This translates into a maximum of 6.5tsp (28g) per day for children up to 13 years old,
approximately 12.5 tsp (50g) daily for adult males and about 9.5 tsp (38g) daily for adult women.
Next, memorize the fact that there are 4 grams of sugar in 1 tsp. Remembering this allows you to easily
calculate how many tsp of sugar are in a serving of a food. Manufacturers count on consumers having difficulty
conceptualizing nutrient quantity when it is presented in grams, especially when they may want to “hide”
certain less than healthy attributes of their products. This is part of the reason that nutrients are listed in gram
weights! Converting grams to a household measure like teaspoons is much easier for most consumers to
understand and visualize. Every time you see a nutrition facts table on a product label listing 4 grams per
serving, remember that it is equivalent to 1 tsp of sugar per serving.
Let’s practice by looking at the following nutrition facts table for a cereal. It states that a 300g
bowl serving contains 6g sugar. That translates into 1.5tsp of sugar
(6g / 4g per tsp = 1.5 tsp). It’s that simple!!
Next month, we’ll look at ways to cut the sugar but not the flavor from your diet. Until then,
make it a habit to read the label and divide grams of sugar by 4. Add those teaspoons up daily
and make sure you stay within the recommendations of the WHO for optimal health.
