Thank you to everyone for your generosity in supporting this project!!

FAMILY DANCE

Some Winter Reminders: Please do not drive into the parking lot to drop off or pick up your children. As there is no supervision, it is not recommended to drop the children off before 8:05 am. Thank you for modeling safety to the children by removing your shoes or boots when you come into the school with your children. Wet puddles cause the floor to be slippery. We require the students to remove their outdoor footwear upon entering the school. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe.

Cold Weather Children are let in before school and kept in at recess and noon if the thermometer with wind chill is colder than -20°C. Please make sure your children are dressed appropriately.

News from School Council The next School Council meeting will be on January 19, 2016 at 6:30 pm. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend to make this the best school year yet! For future reference and to plan ahead, future meetings will take place on March 16, April 19, and May 18. Please plan to attend!! Please be advised the family dance this year will be February 5, 2016 from 6:30-8:30 pm. An envelope will be sent home with all students in January.

On behalf of the Parent Council we hope everyone had a great holiday season! All the best in 2016!

PARKING CONCERNS We continue to have many concerns over the parking around our school at dismissal times and in the morning. Many of you will have noticed that Edmonton Police Services are often at our school ticketing violators. We ask everyone’s assistance in putting the CHILDREN of St. Dominic School before your convenience when picking up or dropping off children at the school. Parking is an issue around our school and that means that you may need to walk further or have your child walk further to meet you. Please, for the safety of all children, strictly follow these guidelines. The safety of the children crossing the street must come first.  Parents are asked NOT to park anywhere within the areas that have been marked with orange pylons.  The bus and handicap zone is strictly off limits, unless of course you have a special handicap permit which is to be suspended from your rear view mirror so that it is visible to all.  The parking lot is restricted to staff only.

Parents dropping off and picking up of children to/from the daycare may use the staff parking lot prior to 8:00 a.m. and after 4:00 p.m.  U-Turns are not permitted in front of our school.  Double parking is not permitted in front of the school or in the staff parking lot.  Please give close attention to parking bans and refrain from parking on 144 Ave when a ban is in effect. We have had many parents receive bylaw tickets when the ban has been in effect. 

RUNNING CLUB The St. Dominic Running Club will resume practices starting on Monday, January 11. This time members will participate in conditioning exercises and running drills to try out and prepare for the Edmonton Journal Indoor Games. Our school will enter as many boys and girls relay teams as we can in these races that will be held on February 16 or 17. Students interested in joining the running club should attend.

St. Dominic School Blesses its Holy Door On Tuesday, December 8th the staff and students along with Father Gabriel, our parish priest, gathered in the gym to celebrate the Jubilee Year of Mercy and to Bless our Holy Door. We watched a video about what mercy means and what it looks like in our lives today. Father spoke to us about mercy and forgiveness and then blessed our gym door and blessed it with Holy Water. As the students processed out of our newly blessed Holy Door, we all reflected on how God is merciful to us and on how we need to share that mercy with one another. Thank you to our school Chaplains, Mrs. Merkosky and Mrs. Brown for all their hard work in coordinating this project!!

Sleigh Rides The children had an incredible time on December 16th as everyone got to participate in our sleigh rides. Thank you so much to our Parent Council for generously covering half the cost, and to the many parents who “rounded up” their contribution to cover the cost of multiple children. We enjoyed meeting “Dick and Dan” and “Duke and Sugar” and their drivers. It was such a magical day!

WELCOME BACK!

We are pleased to welcome Ms. Mitchell back to 4B as of January 4th. She will be teaching in the mornings and Ms. Doram will continue in the afternoons. Ms. Doram will be working with the teachers and students in the grade 5 and 6 classrooms in the mornings. We are also pleased to say that Ms. Manyluk is working with our ELL students to support them in their language skills. We are happy to have you with us!

CHRISTMAS CABARET

Our Christmas Cabaret was a great success! We were blessed to be joined by four special guests from the Miller Center, who were accompanied by their support worker Marcia. Ainsley, Fernie, Jean and Colleen were our guests of honour and the children were thrilled to perform for them! 100 Voices, Kindergarten and Grade 1 and 2 students performed pieces from their concert, and the Handbells, Orff and Choir wowed us with their performances. It was a very special experience that will be remembered by all for a long time. Bravo to Ms. Newbury for coordinating the performances!

When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. ~ Matthew 2: 9-10 ~ There is so much for us to learn from the story of the wise men as they sought out the Messiah. They had just met with Herod, who was afraid of the coming of the Savior. The Magi, however, were not afraid; they were drawn to seek Jesus by their faith. When they found him, in a lowly stable, a place of poverty, they were filled with joy. This is rich with significance for us in our modern times. We are reminded not to be afraid of what our faith asks of us, for the ultimate reward of our faith is joy. The journey may be hard, but it is worth it! We are also reminded of the humble beginnings of our Savior. Pope Francis reminds us constantly that we are to be humble and to live our faith out in service to those who walk in the marginalized circumstances that Jesus was born into, for it is in those places that we will most certainly find Him. This is our Epiphany! The New Year is a very exciting and busy time for us in Edmonton Catholic Schools. We have many celebrations of our faith on the immediate horizon. Our Ukrainian programs will celebrate Ukrainian Christmas on January 7. February 1 will mark our first Father Michael “Catfish” Mireau Youth Faith Day for our grade 8 students. Father Mike enjoyed working with all students, and we chose grade 8 students to engage in a full day event that will have them participating in the Eucharist and listening to Jesse Manibusan and Mike Patin, two amazing youth evangelizers. The theme for the day is “Serve like a Superhero”. On February 2, all of our staff will gather together to listen to Jesse and Mike and to celebrate the Eucharist, as well, for our annual Faith Development Day. We know that ongoing faith formation of staff is essential to our Catholic identity. This month, we look at Mark 4 of Catholic School Identity: Sustained by Gospel Witness. An excellent Catholic school hires and nurtures staff that are living witnesses to the Gospel, and intentional disciples of Jesus Christ and His Church. Edmonton Catholic Schools, at the District and school levels, offers many opportunities for our staff to continue to grow in their faith as they nurture children in their faith formation. Our schools will begin accepting new registrations for the 2016-2017 school year this month. We are very excited to be opening John XXIII Catholic Elementary/Junior High School this fall. Visit www.ecsd.net to find a school, learn about programs, or to find Open House information. Did you know that schools complete a 3 year School Plan for Continuous Growth each year? This plan is tied to our District Goals and Priorities. Data from a variety of sources including Provincial Testing, the Accountability Pillar, and Tell Them From Me Survey results are used to target areas of growth for each community. You can find your school’s plan on their website. Each year, the Council of Catholic School Superintendents of Alberta (CCSSA) acknowledges teacher excellence in Catholic education across the province. Edmonton Catholic Schools will very proudly put forth the names of three teachers/administrators to receive this award. Please consider nominating a teacher or administrator who is an outstanding model for Catholic education for this important award. Your school principal can share information about the nomination process with you. All nominations are due by 4 pm on January 29, 2016.

In order to further our work with numeracy and literacy, there are professional development sessions this year that are being offered to support teachers as they program inclusively with specific adaptations and scaffolding required for English Language Learners in the early stages of language development as well as struggling readers and writers in the literacy classroom. Similar numeracy sessions will also be offered. From December 7-11, over 15,000 ECSD students in 68 schools participated in one of the largest worldwide educational events in history, The Hour of Code. Students participated in a variety of fun programming activities as a way of exposing them to computer science for one hour. Coding can strengthen computational thinking, problem solving, numeracy, and literacy skills, and participating for one hour during the week showed students that anyone can become involved and learn. Over 100 million learners in over 180 countries have participated in the Hour of Code. For more information, visit https://hourofcode.com/ca. In January, the Emerging Technologies team will be promoting an excellent multimodal digital poster creation tool for learning called Board Builder. Students and teachers will have the opportunity to share their posters and be recognized. Stay tuned for more details! I would like to share a final thought with you from Pope Francis as we enter into our Year of Mercy. “God sent his Son, God made himself man in order to save us, that is, in order to grant us his mercy” (General Audience, 10 September 2014). Our schools have now created and blessed a Holy Door of Mercy to help them observe this special year on an ongoing basis. Many blessings for 2016! Sincerely,

Joan Carr Superintendent

The "Day After" Christmas The joys of the Christmas Season are gone. We have exchanged gifts and greetings. We have feasted together and delighted in fellowship. We have seen the angels, we have heard "... a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors" (Luke 2:13-14). Now we are back to our daily lives. The intensity of winter season is upon us. We have many bills to pay. We are experiencing the let-down feeling that is nurtured by the long time we have spent getting ready for the festivities. After a few hours of celebrations, it is all over! We have expected so much but it lasted so short. It faded away and we are back in the everyday routine with the same old problems. But if this is what Christmas is all about, then it is a terrible mockery. If it lifts our spirits briefly only to crush them down later, then Christmas is not hope, joy, peace, and good will, but utter cruelty. Clearly this is not what God has in mind for us. Let us look briefly at the Wise Men to see how Christmas affected their lives. When the Magi learned of the plot of King Herod to kill the infant Jesus, they did not come back to Herod, but went another way. What did the evangelist Matthew mean when he wrote that the Wise Men "departed to their own country by another way" (Matthew 2:12)? No doubt Matthew meant that the Magi took another route so as to frustrate Herod’s murderous intentions. But is there not more to these words than that? The Wise Men took another road home in the spiritual sense, too. What they had seen in the manger in Bethlehem had changed their lives. No one ever comes to Christ and goes back the same way he came. No one comes to Christ and goes back by the same route. You are always changed. Like the Magi, we have seen the star. Like the Wise Men we have followed the star to the newborn King. Like them, we have worshiped the Christ Child, brought Him our gifts, and received Him in the manger of our souls through the sacrament of the Holy Communion. Now let us go another way, God’s way, leaving behind the old doubts, the old grudges, the old sins, and the old sorrows. Let us walk into the future with Christ, more loving and more conscious of the needs of others, for unto us is born a child, Christ the Savior, Emmanuel – God with us. As we take down our Christmas decorations to store them in the basement or the attic, let us be careful not to take down Christ. He was meant not for the attic, but for the living room of your heart and mine the year round. After all, His presence with us is what Christmas is all about. Many years ago someone sent a card to a friend the day after Christmas and the words speak of great truth that we have tried to capture today (the author is unknown): When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among brothers and sisters, To make music in the heart. Alleluia! Unto us a child is born. Fr. Julian Bilyj District Chaplain St. Matthew Catholic School

Laudato Si – Pope Francis` Encyclical on the Environment - On Care for Our Common Home Chapter Three: The Human Roots of the Ecological Crisis In Chapter one, we read how our world is in ecological crisis… our world is slowly dying because of global warming and although this impacts everyone in some way, the greatest effects are felt in the developing countries where people are already struggling to survive on the little they have. It is time we face the facts and start making a unified change to care for, and preserve, what we still have: we need an ecological conversion. In Chapter two, we read how it is our Christian duty to do something about our Creation in crisis. The Gospel calls us to seriously live out the two greatest commandments, love God and love one another. To love God, we must proactively care for our common home, the earth. To love one another, we must live in ways that respect people all over the world, especially those who are struggling to survive. As Christians who follow the Gospel values, it is time to live more simply and with more responsibility. In Chapter three, we explore that the roots of this ecological crisis, sadly, belong to humans; the pope says that there is a ‘deterioration of the environment’ (107). We are the cause of global warming because of our over-consumption and irresponsible development; we have allowed profit, wealth, comfort and technology to become more powerful than caring for God’s fragile ecosystems. We have become falsely accustomed to a lifestyle that reflects our earth having an infinite supply of resources that can feed us and fuel our economic growth. Technology has provided us with many beneficial products and medical advancements, and we are thankful for them, but we must also be guarded about how fast technology is growing, faster than we can keep up. Technology can be powerful but when it becomes disengaged from ethics, it can be harmful. Technology needs to be seen as an instrument, not a ‘need’ that dominates our life (108); as we all know, it can even lure us into social isolation. To counteract this, the pope says we need a ‘bold cultural revolution’ where we ‘look at reality in a different way, to appropriate the positive and sustainable progress which has been made, but also to recover the values and the great goals swept away by our unrestrained delusions of grandeur’ (114). It is time to be responsible stewards of the earth and live in ways that ‘respect the natural and moral structures’ that God has endowed the earth with (115). How can we apply this to our lives here and now? We cannot deny that technology is a big part of our lives. Our Catholic responsibility, however, is to be disciplined stewards of the earth and not allow technology to dominate our lives. We must be mindful to stand-up to consumerism. As Christians, we own nothing but are stewards of everything. It is time to put our cell-phones down, even turn them off for one hour during the day, and reflect on how we can live more simply in a way that respects the world for a lasting future where our children’s children can live in a flourishing, non-polluted world. We need to always remember that everything is interrelated and we are all connected from one side of the world to the other. As Pope Francis says, ‘our relationship with the environment can never be isolated from our relationship with others and with God’ (120). Love God by living more simply, cherishing the earth and respecting one another. Janice Stefancik, Religious Education Consultant

Healthy Children Parent Newsletter January 2015

Children and Stress – What Parents Can Do For children, life can become overwhelming with school work, family issues, friendships, extra-curricular activities, and home responsibilities. As a result, children may start feeling stressed without recognizing or knowing how to cope. Children have a hard time naming the emotions they are feeling. Often, they do not realize their physical symptoms can be related to stress. Children haven’t had enough experience to recognize how stress impacts their lives. As a parent you can help your child to learn what stress is and how to recognize signs of stress. Common signs of unhealthy stress for children include: eating too little, overeating, sleep problems, frequent complaints of headaches and stomach aches (even though a doctor has said they are physically healthy), irritability, emotional outbursts, excessive worry, fear of leaving parents, and crying.

Did You Know? Being physically active every day can help children: For fun ideas on how to stay active visit: http://www.participaction.com/get-moving/tips/ http://activeforlife.com/

    

increase focus and concentration show improved behaviour perform better academically develop self-esteem have a stronger sense of school connectedness

   

improve fundamental movement skills sleep better and have more energy fight off sickness and disease improve physical and mental health build healthy bones, hearts, muscles, and selves

Noticing changes in your child’s behaviours and describing them is important in opening up conversations between parents and children [e.g., I notice you are not as excited about going to school as you used to be. (Provide a specific example: Yesterday when you came home you threw your book and looked mad and this morning you said you didn’t want to go to school. Has something upset you?)] . This shows your care and support. Ask your children how they feel and listen to their feelings to build trust. Help them name their emotions (e.g., mad, sad, hungry, angry) and identify what may be causing their stress. There are many ways you can help your child reduce stress. For example: Teach and encourage them to take time for themselves, be physically active, listen to music, read books, spend time with family and friends, get plenty of sleep, have fun, and breathe deeply. Model healthy coping skills by: taking deep breaths when dealing with stressful situations, eating healthy, getting plenty of sleep and seeking extra support when needed.

Talking to your Child about Alcohol A recent Canadian survey identified alcohol as the drug most widely used by Canadian teens between grades seven and nine. This suggests that you may want to start conversations about alcohol prior to your child entering junior high school. Grades four to six are a critical time for students as they figure out who they are and what is important to them. You do not need to talk directly about alcohol to start teaching and preparing students for choices they may need to make in the future. Resiliency and the ability to make positive health choices starts with connections to supportive adults, guidance by positive role models and positive peer connection. Chances are you provide these opportunities already but here are a few tips to consider: Provide time to talk about how to be a positive friend. Peer influence plays an important role when kids are faced with choices about alcohol later in life. Give your child a chance to be a mentor to younger students; it builds self-esteem. Encourage involvement in healthy extracurricular activities that your child is passionate about. Create an environment for communicating easily with your children by: Spending time with them, both at home and while taking part in activities outside the home. Choosing the right time to talk to your child and trying to be available when they want to talk to you. Knowing your children – their activities and interests – and getting to know who their friends are. Speaking calmly and being prepared for resistance when emotional or difficult topics come up. Not being resistant or emotional yourself. For more information about talking to your child, building self-esteem, enhancing resilience, and other topics for parents please visit www.albertahealthservices.ca/2434.asp.

Hand Washing Anytime is hand hygiene time. Studies done by the Center for Disease Control have shown that if children wash their hands as few as four times during the school day they have up to 50% fewer colds, flu and sore throats. There are five important steps: 1. Wet hands with warm water

2. Apply enough soap 3. Scrub for 20 seconds focusing on the thumb and fingertips 4. Rinse off the soap and dirt Dry hands well. The first four steps remove 60% of the germs. The last 40% of the germs come off when hands are dried. Keeping skin in good condition also keeps the germs away, so use lotion if skin gets dry. If the dirt is visible, waterless hand gels do not work. The best way to keep the germs away is to use plain soap and water, spend the time and get good friction. Hand hygiene continues to be one of the best and simplest ways to stay healthy all year round.

Talking to Your Kids about Tobacco: It’s Never too Early to Start the Conversation One of your most important jobs as a parent is to keep your kids safe – steering them away from staircases as toddlers, teaching them to cross the street when they go to school and, as they grow, protecting them from tobacco use. Tobacco use is a serious health problem today. Kids will feel the pressure to try tobacco from youth to adulthood. You can make a difference by talking to them about tobacco. It’s important for parents to talk to their children early and often about the side effects of tobacco use. New studies tell us that when young people make it to 19 years of age without smoking they’re unlikely to start. Plan to talk about tobacco many times throughout your child’s developing years as soon as they begin to be curious, if not sooner. Whenever you have time together, you can share your thoughts about tobacco. It doesn’t have to be formal. Studies show that if you use tobacco, you can help prevent your teen from starting by talking to them about your use and how hard it can be to quit. It’s important to know what matters to them. Use this list to make your conversation personal: Staying healthy – tobacco smoke has about 7000 chemicals in it – at least 69 of them cause cancer. Making your own decision – tobacco companies go after young people to get them addicted for life. Appearance–using tobacco can cause yellowing of the teeth, more wrinkles, and bad breath. Grades in school – young people who use tobacco have lower grades in school. Playing sports – people who use tobacco have trouble breathing and slower reflexes. Listen to what your child has to say about using tobacco. Ask about the pressures your child may be facing or how tobacco is portrayed in movies and on television. Talk about what they could do if they were offered tobacco. Let them know they can tell you what is really happening and that you can help. If you find out your child is using tobacco, don’t panic. You aren’t alone – we can help. Call AlbertaQuits at 1-866-710-QUIT (7848) or visit www.albertaquits.ca
