St. Mary students pictured with Mayor Rodriguez - from left to right Connor Foucault (Grade 2), Jacqueline Brown (Grade 4), Alyssa Menard (Grade 6) May 6, 2010 - Students from both the Sudbury Catholic and Rainbow Valley East schools had the opportunity to enter a contest entitled “Raise the Flag Day”. The Kin club of Valley East once again supported this nationally celebrated event and hosted the contest for elementary students from the Valley schools. There was a picture/colouring contest for students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 4 and a Literary Contest (essay or poem) for students in Grades 5 to 8. Criteria for the contest was similar as the entry had to reflect what being Canadian means to the student and each student received a certificate of participation from Claude Gravelle, MP. A total of seven Valley schools participated and three of the top winners were students from St. Mary Catholic Elementary School. Connor Foucault (Grade 2 - St. Mary) took first place and Jacqueline Brown (Grade 4 - St. Mary) took third place in the picture/colouring contest. As well, Alyssa Menard (Grade 6 - St. Mary) took second place in the essay contest. Mayor John Rodriguez was also on hand to present the winners with their awards. Congratulations to all of our students who participated in this contest!. Share Tweet
