‼️ We are so excited to announce that our Grade Sixes have successfully received 40 pumpkins that were generously donated to us by Loblaws Merivale! Each class will be painting at least one pumpkin and they will be raffled off to 40 lucky students. The tickets to win a pumpkin will be 2 for $1 and 5 for $2. If your child wins a pumpkin and is walking home, we recommend that they get picked up on Friday the 30th. We will notify the parents of the winners that walk. Bus riders will have help from our Grade 6 students. We will be selling raffle tickets on Wednesday, October 28th, Thursday, October 29th and, and Friday, October 30th.

Our St. Gregory Social Justice Club is running a FOOD DRIVE to help restock non-perishable food pantries right after Thanksgiving! All the items we collect will go straight to Care Centre Ottawa. They are a local food bank that gives food to people in our community who really need it, and we are super grateful for everything they do!
We will be collecting donations at school from Tuesday, October 13th to Friday, October 23rd, 2026. We hope you can all help.
Thank you so much for your support and generosity!
