Today has been a very busy day at Our Lady of Lourdes School. You guessed it! It was the Halloween Frenzie! What a terrific day it was!
The morning unfolded as usual, focussing on Literacy and Numeracy. In the afternoon, Miss Gorges’ grade one – two class, wearing their Halloween costumes, visited the hospital where they participated in various activities with the hospital staff and patients. They also enjoyed some special treats.
The JK and SK classes hosted a fabulous Halloween party, at which they entertained their parents and other special guests. They also had the opportunity to visit a variety of centres including Pumpkin Golf, Octopus Ring, Bean Bag Toss, Apple Bobbing and other activities. The party ended with a totally awesome shared snack, prepared by parents and teachers.
During the last period of the day, all students and staff gathered in the gym for a costume parade. Following the parade, winners of the Halloween contest were announced and awarded their prizes by our Librarian Mrs. Hachey. At the very end of the assembly, representatives from the Manitouwadge Economic Development Corporation Board; Barb St-Pierre and Karen Robinson announced the winner of the “Name the Manitouwadge Dollar contest”. They presented Valerie Glaister, one of our grade 5 students, with her prize, a One Hundred dollar official print of the “Extreme Dollar”.
Through all of these activities, the FSL and Immersion teachers from OLOL as well as those from Holy Saviour School (Marathon), took part in valuable Professional Development with Juli Powers from Toronto.

No Halloween weekend would be complete without a dance! The OLOL Student Council hosted a Sock-hop which began at 4pm and is just wrapping up as we come upon 6pm; older students will be arriving soon as the council is also hosting a dance tonight, from 7:30 to 10:30pm – no doubt these students will have as great a time as the little ones did at their sock hop!
