Christmas Message from the

Director of Education

Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest heaven and on earth peace among those whom he favours." Luke 2:13-14

The song of the angels at the birth of Christ is a song of peace. Other translations of this Lucan passage expand the phrase to say peace and good will among people. This is God's desire for all people, to be in peace and to live with the best intentions for each other. His Holiness Pope Paul VI insisted that in order to have peace there must be justice for all people - peace - real peace cannot be separated from ensuring a just world among all people. Peace comes with justice - something our religion programs and outreach activities teach each and every day. The Christmas season is a time of celebration, of re-birth and renewal. It is a time to reflect and acknowledge the achievements of the past, and focus on plans for the coming year. TCDSB is blessed with dedicated staff, eager students, committed parents and supportive Church communities. I thank you for the valuable contributions you make to Catholic education and to the Toronto Catholic District School Board. I wish each and every one of you, along with those that are important to you, a peaceful and joyous Christmas. May the miracle of Christmas fill your home with joyful laughter, warm thoughts, wonderful memories and welcomed rest.

Kevin Kobus, Director of Education

TCDSB GOES GREEN!

ENERGY STEWARDSHIP UPDATE! An evening energy audit was conducted at the CEC which concluded that there is a significant

amount of improvement required by the CEC staff to ensure that all of their desk side electrical equipment (computers, monitors, printers, calculators, scanners, lights, etc.) are TURNED OFF

each evening after the employee leaves for the day! Both the monitor and the computer itself CAN be turned off.

A little bit of effort can save a whole lot of energy! CEC Staff will be sent a reminder e-mail in the New Year of the importance of Energy Conservation and

Recycling procedures. The evening audits will continue in 2007 and we hope to see a dramatic improvement. We need to lead by example!

THE VICTOR ANGELOSANTE AWARD NOMINATION FORM

DESCRIPTION OF AWARD The Victor Angelosante Award is named in honour of Mr. Victor Angelosante, a former Physical and Health Education Program Coordinator for the Toronto Catholic District School Board, school administrator, teacher, coach and Toronto Catholic Schools Athletic Association (TCSAA) executive member who died in 1994. Victor Angelosante recognized early in his career that school athletics possessed enormous potential to build Christian fellowship in the hearts and minds of young people in our schools. He further recognized and demonstrated that athletics were but one of many critical avenues educators could pursue to foster in children a sense of respect and confidence, an understanding of commitment, the significance of teamwork, and the desire to dedicate energy toward the pursuit of excellence. The Victor Angelosante Award is presented annually to a TCDSB elementary employee who, through significant involvement with athletics and the TCSAA, has made an outstanding contribution toward the overall development and education of young people. The award winner is one who personifies those qualities Victor demonstrated in abundance and one who embodies and inculcates by example the highest traditions of a Catholic educator and a dedicated sportsperson. SELECTION PROCESS 1. Principals, teachers or other TCDSB staff may forward the name of a nominee to the TCSAA executive no

later than Friday January 19, 2006. Please submit these forms and a letter of recommendation (typewritten please) to Larry Lazazzera, Our Lady of Lourdes ([email protected]).

We are honoured and privileged to present Dr. Adam J. Cox, Ph.D.

"Why Words Matter: Communication in the Social and Academic Lives of Boys"

Adam J. Cox, Ph.D., ABPP is a licensed and board certified clinical psychologist. He earned his doctoral degree in psychology at Lehigh University, and completed his clinical training at Friends Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Cox is a frequent lecturer at national and international conferences. He has been quoted in a variety of print media about a range of psychological issues affecting families and youth. These publications include the New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Time Magazine, Child, Family Circle, and many others. Recently, he has been featured on The Parent Report, Take Charge of Your Life, Parent’s Journal, NBC 10!, and National Public Radio's Voices in the Family and Radio Times.

Dr. Cox's 90 minute inter-active presentation for educators, guidance, learning specialists and school administrators will help clarify why communication is fundamental to boys' social and emotional development. New research sheds light on what many professionals have noted intuitively for years: boys learn, communicate, and relate in particular ways. Working effectively with boys requires an understanding of the brain factors that drive boys' development and behaviour. This workshop answers some important questions such as, "What is the common denominator between learning challenges and social skills deficits? When ISN"T it ADHD?" Educators will leave the program with practical teaching strategies that they can implement immediately. There will be a Q&A session after the presentation. Refreshments will be served. Participants are strongly encouraged to visit Dr. Adam Cox’s website at www.dradamcox.com Note: Since there is limited seating for this expert speaker please RSVP Neil McNeil Rose Calla 416-393-5502 (0) e-mail: [email protected]

Student's prize: ride in a fire truck FANNIE SUNSHINE North York, The Mirror 12/07/06 Rebecca Ramnauth lives across the street from school, but that didn't stop the St. Charles Garnier Catholic School student from being picked up in style Monday morning.

The kindergarten student was the winner of the Jane Street and Finch

Avenue area school's Great Canadian Fire Drill competition, in which the school's 475 students were asked to draw a layout of their home and write out a fire escape plan.

Rebecca's plan was chosen as the winner, and her prize was a ride to school in a fire truck. "She lives across the street so they took a ride across the block," said Luigi Pennacchio, vice-principal of the school, adding Rebecca's younger brother Jason also got a lift to school in the red truck.

After she was dropped off, Rebecca joined the rest of her schoolmates for a special fire safety presentation inside the school, Pennacchio said. "I thought the presentation was excellent," he said. "They taught the students how to deal with fire, how to stop, drop and roll, the importance of developing fire routes and the dangers of smoking in bed. It was one of the most important presentations at the school and I am very happy they (firefighters) came."

SUBJECT: 12-2 Education Campaign launched for Portuguese students Toronto Star, Dec. 7, 2006 A new coalition has launched a campaign to involve Portuguese families in their children's education and get schools to take action:

A recent conference for Portuguese parents hoped to attract 100 people — but drew 375. More than 20 of those parents signed up for a new action committee to brainstorm ways to get families more involved. It met for the first time last weekend.

A free tutoring service run by the Portuguese community has helped 546 students since 2001 and has a waiting list of 47. The two-hour sessions have become so popular, the community persuaded both public and Catholic school boards to provide classrooms free.

Because many Portuguese parents avoid daycare in favour of leaving their children with grandparents, kids can arrive in kindergarten more than 1,000 hours behind in literacy skills, warns Portuguese educator Enir Bassani. One Toronto school launched an experimental all-day kindergarten to help children catch up on literacy and social skills. After two years, Grade 1 teachers at St. Luigi Catholic School say these children's reading skills are on average two levels higher than those from half-day kindergarten.

This winter, 11 Catholic schools will send home special reading packages with CD-ROMs to make it easier for non-English-speaking parents to read English with their children. `We have to create an environment that expects children to succeed at school'

Creative Movement Workshop Students in Grades 1 to 6 at St. Gerard Majella Catholic School participated in a week-long creative movement workshop in November. Conducted by Movement Makers and financed by the local law firm of Skurka, Spina and Cugliari., the program inspires students to unleash their creativity and imaginations through movement, imagery, dance, music, song and storytelling.. Students in Grades 1, 2, and 3 participated in a Body Awareness Workshop while those in a Grade 4/5 class practised Movement Fundamentals. A Grade 5 class was assigned to a workshop on “Our Environment”.

The students were enthusiastic participants and gained an appreciation of dance as a creative movement. At a final performance for parents, students were applauded for their spontaneous, creative interpretations. Photos courtesy Michael Haas of Movement Makers
