Dear Parents and Guardians,

50-40-30…These three numbers carry lots of meaning for St. Leo School as we begin MAY, the month of Mary, Jesus’ mother, and the month of honoring mothers everywhere.
“50” stands for the fifty days we celebrate Easter. Days where we hear the Resurrection stories of Jesus….appearing to the holy women and Apostles, appearing to his followers in locked rooms, walking with two travelers hastily leaving Jerusalem, convincing the doubting Thomas that he is alive, meeting with the Apostles on the shore and cooking breakfast. All these and many others attest to the fact that the “Savior is Risen!” The Easter season takes us through Jesus’ Ascension into Heaven from the mountaintop and ends with Pentecost, and the birth of the Catholic Church. Fifty days that we can sing Alleluia!

“40” is the number of days left in the school year, give or take a Victoria Day weekend. The school year is rapidly winding down, giving students about eight short weeks to achieve the goals set out for them at the start of the year. St. Leo staff is working diligently each day to not only help your child reach grade specific academic goals, but to help him or her grow spiritually, socially, and emotionally as well.  And your support at home remains crucial. Thanks in advance for your efforts over the next 40 days!   

And “30”…the number of days until the second “We Care Marketplace,” a Social Justice event that will see St. Leo students, staff, and families again minister to the homeless and working poor of inner-city Edmonton. An inspirational, moving, memorable, real life experience. Don’t miss it!  Finally, we wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of our mothers! Have a great month of May!

For Mothers:
Just as God gives to each rose
A gentle touch of dew
And gives unto each evening sky
The lovely sunset's hue
So may he give to you
From His enduring love
Great happiness and heart's content
And blessing from above.
Amen
