On May 1, we marked Principal Appreciation Day—a time to recognize the work our principals do across Lakeland Catholic.
Our principals are entrusted with the care and direction of their school communities. They support staff, guide students, and help ensure each school is a place where learning, faith, and belonging are present every day.
Their work is thoughtful and constant–shaped by attention to detail, long hours, and a steady commitment to keeping their schools running smoothly and with purpose.

Students were buzzing this week as they explored Bunny’s Noisy Book. The energy in the room was incredible as learners worked together to build vocabulary and used a Grammar Matrix to sort new words into nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs.
From dramatic sneezes and giant stretches to quiet yawns, these students brought the story to life with energy and enthusiasm.

April’s Catholic Social Teaching highlights the importance of each person’s voice and the responsibility we share in building strong, caring communities. It reminds us that everyone has a role to play, and that each contribution matters.
In our schools, Participation is reflected in the ways students engage in learning, share their ideas, support their peers, and take part in school life. It fosters a strong sense of belonging, responsibility, and connection.
