News from
St. Anne's
By Philip j. McMillan
Students of St. Anne's
began the week with a
mass concelebrated by the
chaplain Father Dino
Salvador and a guest
priest Father Morris. The
focus was, "Service to
Others". A presentation of
funds was made to the
student conference of St.
Vincent de Paul, a group
working from the school
for the needy. The funds
came from the sale of
"The Voice", the school
newspaper.
Throughout the week,
pledge money for the
"Walk for St. Anne's"
began to come in and it
looks like there will be
another great effort to
raise funds for charities,
student sports, arts, field
trips, and other meaning-
ful events. A letter was
sent home last week so
that parents would be
aware of the diverse use of
these funds.
A group of students and
staff are organizing this
year's event and it will be
a great day of community
involvement for all. The
walk will take place on
' Friday, October 15 weath-
er permitting, and the rain
date is the next Friday,
October 22. Students in
their first year, and their
families, should know that
'we will walk 10 ,kilome-
ters on country roads
away from the busy high-
way traffic. This is done
for safety and the country
roads are a pleasant
route. I would like to take
this opportunity to ask
parents who wish to take
part to call the school and
be walkers, or offer their
services as volunteers at
rest stops and other
checkpoints along the
route. It's such a great
event. Students get out
and support what we as a
community do at the
school.
Parents are also remind-
ed to encourage their
daughter or son to
approach friends and
neighbours they know for
pledges . The students will
begin their walk after a
brief assembly. The walk
will begin at about 9:30
with students, staff and
parent volunteer monitors
walking in groups.
Monitors will drive the
route equipped with cellu-
lar phones in case a walk-
er needs assistance . The
concept of walking for a
good cause is not a new
one, but I must admit that
there are more gains than
financial. Students spend
the day walking for their
school and as they do, a
great deal of spirit evolves.
Staff and students chat
along the routo getting to
know each other as people
with a common cause. I
hope parents will feel wel-
come to come and walk in
the tine fail weather.
