A message from Mr. Dauphinais:
The 2020-21 school year will go down in the record books as one of the most challenging
school years for all the stakeholders – the students, the parents, the teachers, the senior
administrators, and the board. The word that keeps resurfacing is resiliency. Our Bobcats not
only demonstrated resiliency but they were also open-minded, mature, resourceful, and hard-
working. All of these stakeholders are tired and the summer break could not come at a better
time. I encourage you all to take time this summer to reacquaint with family and friends.
COVID was brutally hard on everyone – it reminded us that life is precious and that we must
cherish every moment we share with others.

This week there are many hearts hurting after hearing the devastating news of the 751
                                                                                                  St. Bernadette School
