On behalf of the faculty and staff at Father Francis McSpiritt, I extend a warm welcome back to all our students and their families – and a special welcome to the 40 new students and their families! I hope you have had a wonderful summer – filled with beautiful memories!

What's New?

We have many new students and a few new staff members too.  Joining the staff this year will be:  Mrs. Harris, in grade 2, Mrs. Sheehy, in the library, Ms. Dias, half time in Kindergarten, Ms. Brown, our E.R.W., Mlle Lambe, F.S.L., and Mr. Dicenso, part-time Special Education in the junior grades.  Mme Butera will be coming back from leave, and Mrs. Barbosa will be going on leave to enjoy some time with her new baby, who arrived in November.  Some of our "old" faces have new names: Miss Forward is now Mrs. Farrar, Miss Sherwood is Mrs. Masters, and Miss Musielak is Mrs. Morales.

What's going on?

As usual, lots!  We are continuing many of the activities begun last year, and adding some new ones.  We still have sports teams, and dance teams and reading clubs.  We took part in the Terry Fox walk again, and had our second annual Hallowe'en Dance-a-thon fundraiser. This Christmas, once again we will have a food & coat drive, and "adopt" a needy family. We also have started a "Hot Lunch on Thursdays" program.

Be informed!

Let's have a great year!
