At schools all across the LDCSB, students and
staff are getting ready for the excitement of the Olympic games,
which begin this coming week in Vancouver. The Olympic torch
has come to Mrs. Sousa's Senior Kindergarten class at St. Anne
School (London). The students happily paraded through the halls with
their torches in anticipation of the upcoming Olympic Games.

On
February 1 the new Keeping Our Kids Safe at School Act (Bill
157) came into force. This legislation supports the London District
Catholic School Board's belief that all members of our school
community - staff, students, parents, and community agencies - have
a role to play in making our schools a safe place in which to learn.

safe and what parents should know. Click on the Bulletin Board

This will be the sixth year of an

Catholic School Board or its predecessor Boards. They must
demonstrate impact in professional and/or personal life in the
following areas: spiritual, academic, aesthetic, social, or
physical; demonstrate fulfillment of the Ontario Catholic Graduate
Expectations; and demonstrate stewardship in Catholic Education.
Nominators must complete a nomination form, signed by the nominee
and submitted to John Boles at the Catholic Education Centre by

There is a limit of one nomination per
nominator. A Selection Committee will review all nominations and
make a final decision based on the criteria. The graduate (s) will
be profiled in Spotlight, on the Board Website and during Education
