A Mother's Love
There are times when only a mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.
For a mother's heart and a mother's faith
And a mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the angels
And sent from God above.

Our Virtue
of the month:
ACCEPTANCE
God wants us to make
friends with everyone no
matter how different
they may look or act.
An accepting person …
 Treats everybody as
a member of a group
 Avoids judging
others
 Welcomes those
different than himself/
herself
 Is loving and happy
with who he/she is
For the grace given to
me, I say to everyone
among you not to think of yourself more highly than
you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment,
each according to the measure of faith that God has
assigned. For as in one body we have many members
and not all the members have the same function, so
we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and
individually we are members one of another. We
have gifts that differ according to the grace given to
us. Romans 12:3-6
Our Daily Prayer for May…
Let us now pray...for the virtue of
acceptance - the strength to trust that
God is at work in everyone’s life despite
what we think. Amen.
CATHOLIC EDUCATION OUR CATHOLIC HERITAGE
What is the current number of Catholic
schools in Dufferin-Peel?
While Dufferin Peel continues to grow throughout
the region, our current population as of 2012 is
85,278 students and an additional 46,000 adult
continuing education learners.
Our board has
413,000 Roman Catholic electors and the board
operates 146 schools, 26 secondary schools and 120
elementary schools.
CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK 2016
“We need constantly to contemplate
the mystery of mercy.
It is a wellspring of joy, serenity, and peace.
Our salvation depends on it.”
– Pope Francis, Bull of Indiction MIsercordiae Vultus of the
Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy.
The Bull recalls that the Jubilee will begin this 8 December,
the 50th anniversary of the close of Vatican II, with the
opening of the “door of mercy” in St Peter's and successively
in the papal basilicas as well as in the cathedrals, shrines or
particular churches around the world as a “visible sign of
communion for the whole Church”. The common thread and
“motto” of the holy year – which will conclude on 20
November 2016, the Solemnity of Christ the King – come
from the Gospel: “Merciful like the Father”. Among the
special signs of the jubilee experience, the Bull indicates
pilgrimage, spiritual and corporal works of mercy, the
sacrament of penance and indulgences.
Our school community will celebrate Catholic Education
Week 2016 in ways that are appropriate to our students’
age. We invite you to participate in one or other of these
activities as your personal time and work schedule may
permit. There are five sub-themes for each day of Catholic
Education Week:
Monday - Mercy that Welcomes!
Tuesday - Mercy that Loves!
Wednesday - Mercy that Forgives!
Thursday - Mercy that Lives the Gospel!
Friday - Mercy that Rejoices!
Every year, the Ontario Catholic School Trustees’
Association (OCSTA) provides our Catholic schools with a
resource kit to help schools prepare for Catholic Education
Week. Using these resources as well as our own developed
activities we have prepared a series of activities which will
highlight how our school is “Opening Doors of Mercy”. We
hope to see many of you during our school celebrations. A
schedule of events has been sent under a separate cover.
How We Follow
the Example of
Mother Mary
Mary was given the
honour of bringing the
Son of God into the
world. She also suffered
in seeing Him die for the
world’s sins. As Mary
stayed with Jesus until
He left the earth, we are
comforted knowing that
she remains at our side,
from birth until death,
while we struggle with the hardships and challenges of life.
As St. Luke presents Mary to us, “Mary, the ideal disciple,
hears the word of God, she ponders the word of God,
she accepts it in faith, she acts on the word of God, she
bears the word of God within her, she gives life to the
word of God, she brings the word of God to
others.” (Scarborough Missions Feb. 2003)
Like Mary, we at St. Gregory School encourage all to hear
and ponder the word of God, try to bear the word of
God in our hearts and give life to it by our actions. We
are a service people and all we try to accomplish at our
school and community is done with love. This love gives
life to the word of God within us.
May Devotions to Our Lady
On Sundays: O Mary, the Immaculate conception, you
are the New Eve. All that Adam and Eve longed for-and
tried to steal from God-you give to us as the Mother of
God. May we share in your holiness by our union with
you.
On Mondays: At your nativity, O Blessed Virgin, the
way by which earth will be united to heaven is born. By
the grace of your birth, we are led away from our slavery,
and are blessed with holy joy.
On Tuesdays: May we live every day, O Blessed Virgin
Mary, the miracle of the Annunciation. United with you
may our life be a constant YES to the presence of the
Word made flesh. May we turn with our yearning to the
humanity of God.
On Wednesdays: O Mother of God, may we
experience through you all the graces of the Visitation:
you bring Jesus close to us; we rejoice with new life, your
Magnificat becomes our hope.
On Thursdays: O Blessed Mother, God chose you to
offer his fatherly love more generously to the world. You
are the Mother of the Life by which we live-Jesus. He
leads us to you. Through your maternal mediation, all
things are made new.
On Fridays: Our Lady of Sorrows, your presence at the
cross instills a grace that displaces horror. Your faith
contains a light greater than any darkness in my ability
to await God’s future and to abandon myself to heart.
Be with me in Calvary.
On Saturdays: O Blessed Lady assumed into heaven,
give me the Lord’s promises.
Magnificat -Year Of Faith Companion 2012-2013
(Father Peter John Cameron, O.P.)
Crowning of Mary
The Crowning of Mary will take place
on Friday May 20th at 9:30 a.m. outside (weather permitting) or in the
gym. Each child is asked to bring a
flower to honor Mother Mary.
From the Desk of the Principal:
It is with both excitement and sadness that I have
made the decision to submit my letter of retirement
from the position of Principal, effective June 30,
2016. I have truly enjoyed working with and
learning from my friends and colleagues over the
past 32 years and am ready to move onto the next
phase of my life.
I wish to thank all who contributed to my rewarding
career. Special thanks to the Executive Council for
their continued cooperation and support in my 16
years in Administration. Special thanks to my
Superintendent, Lucy Papaloni, for her commitment,
support and guidance. Thank you to the St. Gregory
School staff, support staff, students and parents for
their support. Thank you for making my teaching/
administrative career a happy and memorable one.
It has been a privilege!
Please welcome Mr. V. Pugliese to our school. He
is an experienced Principal that brings many gifts
and talents to the table. I am sure that he will
continue to make St. Gregory School an amazing
and exciting place to be! Congratulations!
God bless!

WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN EVENING
On Wednesday, May 4, 2016, from 6:30 - 7:30, we are
inviting all 2016 - 2017 Junior Kindergarten parents to our
Welcome to Kindergarten Evening. This initiative is
possible because of the corporate support of the Learning
Partnerships (the same group that drives the Take Your
Kids to Work Days). Welcome to Kindergarten is an
evening provided for the parents who have registered for
Junior Kindergarten for this coming September.
BULLYING PREVENTION TIPS:
“Bullying is NOT a normal part of growing up.”
Bullying is a relationship problem – it is about a sense of
entitlement, power, and control. Bullying behaviours often result from feelings of anger and frustration when
faced with some relationship conflict. Using bullying behaviours is not something we outgrow but rather adopt
as a way of interacting with others throughout our
lifespan. Learning how to effectively deal with feelings of
anger and finding positive ways to feel powerful are proactive steps to changing or preventing the use of bullying
behaviours. All children benefit from learning these skills.

Summer Sun Safety and Dress
Code
In order to protect students from
heat exposure and ultra violet rays
during hot, sunny weather, parents/guardians should ensure that children wear shirts with short sleeves, sunscreen every
day and hats when they are outdoors.
We also need your assistance to help your child make
appropriate clothing choices. The Catholic Code of
Conduct states: “Students are required to dress in a
manner and attire appropriate to the school environment.” Board policy states that all students are expected to dress in clean, neat and practical clothing.
The Dress Code has been shared with all students.
School guidelines are:

The top of the pants must meet the bottom of the
shirt with no exposure of midriff or undergarments at anytime, even when they lift their arms

Shorts must be walking shorts which are neither
too tight, too short or tattered

Halter tops, spaghetti strap tops, tank tops/muscle
shirts and mesh shirts should not be worn by any
student. There should be no bare shoulders. (3
finger rule)

Clothing with offensive, suggestive and/or inappropriate statements or pictures (including advertisements for alcohol or tobacco products) are not
permitted

Sunglasses, hats, headbands, and any other inappropriate head wear must be removed before
entering the school building
Your assistance in ensuring your child is dressed appropriately is appreciated. Students who are not
dressed appropriately may be removed from class
and/or sent home to change.
Summer Heat
The main risk of hot summer
weather is that of exposure to ultra-violet (UV) rays which are a risk
factor for the development of skin
cancer and cataracts in later life.
The UV index is the measure commonly used in Canada to assess the risk on a given day.
Parents are encouraged to send children with hat and
protective clothing or to use sunscreen (with an SPF
of 15 or greater ) when the UV index is high. Ensure
children are well hydrated. Plain water is the liquid of
choice, diluted fruit juice is okay. When in the sun,
wear a wide brimmed hat, UV protective sunglasses and
loose-fitting long shirts and pants.

Curriculum Corner
One of the main goals of any school is for students to learn
and thrive. But how do we know if they are in fact learning? Students must demonstrate their learning in ways that
show to what extent they have acquired the knowledge and
skills that we want them to achieve. When students complete tasks, write tests or give presentations, their work
must be examined by the teacher who then makes a determination of their success. The process of looking critically
at student work falls into two broad categories: Assessment and Evaluation. These words are often used interchangeably, but there are significant differences. If we want
to get the most of out of Teacher feedback, it is important
to understand the difference.
Assessment is the process of gathering information that
accurately reflects how well a student is achieving the curriculum expectations in a subject or a course. The primary
purpose of assessment is to improve student learning.
Evaluation refers to the process of judging the quality of
student learning and assigning a value to represent that
quality. Evaluation is therefore a type of assessment. It is
usually what we think of as final marking or grading. Assessment however can and should occur often through the
period of instruction, not just at the end.
Helping Children Connect with each Other
Are you doing a little spring cleaning? How about donating
a very much loved game to your child’s class or to the
school?
Rainy day recesses can sometimes be boring without a
game or two to amuse students. We look forward to any
donations of playing cards or complete board games. Some
games may be fun at home but not suitable for school (i.e.,
Twister). Not to worry, we'll find a suitable home for
these items through the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Please
no video or battery operated games.
Thank you to those parents,
guardians and families who have
already donated books and games.
They are all much appreciated!
God bless!
What Can You Do if You
are Nervous During a
Test?


Ask for help. Talk to your
mom or dad, or your teacher.
Just talking to someone about test anxiety can make you
feel better. Describe what happens to you when you’re
taking a test and these people can help you figure out some
solutions. For instance, learning study skills can boost your
test-day confidence.
Be prepared. Pay attention in class. Do your homework.
Study for the test. On test day, you’re more likely to feel
like you know the material.
Expect the best. Once you have prepared, think positively. Say to yourself, “I studied and I’m ready to do my
best.”
Block bad thoughts. Watch out for any negative messages you might be sending yourself about the test (“I’m no
good at taking tests” or “I’m going to freak out if I get a bad
grade”). These thoughts can make anxiety worse and make
it harder for you to do well on the test.
Accept mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. Be forgiving
of your own mistakes, especially if you prepared for the
test and are set to do your best.
Take care of yourself. You’ll feel your best if you get
enough playtime, sleep and nutritious food. This is important all the time, but be extra-sure you get all three the
day before a test.
Breathe better.
Ok, so you already know how to
breathe. But did you know that breathing exercises can
help calm you down? (Just try not to take in too much air
because it might make you feel dizzy.) Here’s how to do it:
Inhale (breathe in) slowly and deeply through your nose
and then exhale (breathe out) slowly through your mouth.
Do this two to four times and you just might breathe easier
the next time you’re taking a test.

GROWN IN PEEL
The supermarket isn’t the only place to access fresh
fruit and vegetables. There is
an abundance of fresh food
grown right here in Peel.
Grown in Peel connects consumers with local farmers.
Local produce is picked fresh
and tastes great. Foods imported from other locations
are often picked before they are ripe. This means that
the food actually ripens during shipping. There are a
variety of farm picked or pick your own seasonal foods
available through Peel’s local food producers. Take
some time to eat fresh and learn about your local
farmers.
ECO TEAM NEWS!
The EcoTeam would like to thank all of the families who participated in the Vesey’s Bulb fundraiser. We raised over $700 which will be put towards the development of our pollinator garden
next year. Also, many thanks to everyone who
dropped off used batteries and cell phones for
our recycling challenge. We diverted many kilograms of batteries and phones from the landfill.
Our latest project has been the assembly of
sleeping mats from all of the outer milk bags that
have been collected throughout the year. Our
first mat is nearly complete, and we look forward
to completing more before the year is over. We
will be donating these to Dr. Simone’s charity,
Canadian Food for Children, for distribution in
developing countries. Finally, we look forward to
receiving our designation from Ontario
EcoSchools in June. Many thanks to all of our St.
Gregory EcoTeam members who worked hard
all year, as well as the students, staff and families
at St. Gregory School who helped us meet our
goals.
NATIONAL GARDENING MONTH
Plant a seed - grow a reader! Every April, communities, organizations and individuals celebrate
gardening. Join the celebration and help make
Mississauga a greener, healthier, more liveable
place! To dig up a complete list of gardening programs and events and books visit
www.mississauga.ca/library and check out the
Port Credit Library’s seed
lending library.
JUST MOVE = SIT
LESS + MOVE MORE
Did you know?
• Research shows most Canadians spend almost
10 hours a day being sedentary.
• Only seven per cent of Canadian children and
youth meet the recommended 60 minutes of
physical activity per day.
• Sitting for too long has been linked to short- and
long-term effects on the human body such as
higher risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular
disease and some cancers.
Reducing the damage:
Simply standing up every 30 minutes can help reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes! Here are some fun and easy ways to sneak in
a few minutes of physical activity for you and your
children:
NATIONAL POETRY MONTH
Established in Canada in April 1998 by the League of Canadian
Poets, National Poetry Month Brings together schools, publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries and poets across
the country to celebrate poetry and its vital place in Canada’s
culture.
KEEP THE EARTH COOL, WALK AND BIKE TO
SCHOOL
Did you know?
• Approximately 67 per cent of Peel students live within two
kilometres of their school, but only 33 per cent walk to school.
• Approximately 90 per cent of Peel students have access to a
bicycle, yet fewer than five percent bike to and from school!
June is Bike Month. Here are some great reasons to bike and
promote biking:
• Cycling is a fun activity that can be done with friends.
• Cycling to school can help riders meet their 60 minutes of daily
physical activity.
• Cycling gets more people outside, creating a greater sense of
community.
• Exposure to nature can reduce stress and improve academic
performance.
• Cycling is a better choice for the environment. Replacing car
trips with cycling reduces air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and use of fossil fuels.
Check out the new online School Trip Planner tool! This tool
makes it easy to estimate how long it takes to walk or bike to
your school. You can also calculate the amount of greenhouse
gas emissions saved by walking or biking to school – a great tool
for your Eco team! To use the tool:
• Visit http://www.walkandrollpeel.ca/map/themap.asp#schools
• Select your school
• Use the generated map to start planning active routes to
school!
