Instead of fretting over the perfect Christmas gift for your child’s teacher this year, consider making a meaningful donation to support a child’s Catholic education in Canada. By making a donation of any amount to #TooniesForTuition, you’re helping a child attend a Catholic school in a province with limited or no public funding.
This fall, schools from coast to coast have grappled with the challenge of safely reopening doors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Public Health regulations and restrictions varied from city to city across our beautiful country, a few things were consistent in Catholic school communities throughout Canada– servant leadership, innovation and flexibility. In a recent virtual Board meeting, our members brought forth encouraging reports on the state of Catholic education in Canada.
While this fall presented more than its fair share of challenges, the Atlantic Region helped us put things all in perspective. “September 2020 was marked with the joy of students' faces as they reunited with friends and teachers after six months. This joy and trust of students helped ease the tension and uncertainty of the staff. In many ways, the return of the students reminded us all what Catholic Education is all about and sparked in us a greater fervour for this mission to which we have been called.”
