News and Announcements

October 5, 2025

We are moving into the week before Thanksgiving with Monday, October 6th, 2025, as Day 4 on the Instructional Schedule.

Throughout the coming week, we will support student learning connected to thankfulness and Thanksgiving. There will be stories, art and sharing with a focus on giving thanks, kindness and gratitude. We encourage you to explore your child’s understanding of why we set aside a time each year to show appreciation for all of life’s blessings.

One of the ways in which we celebrate our blessings is through our annual Food Drive for the Helping Hand Food Bank. With cost of living issues at the forefront, we are deeply aware of the needs that exist within our community. With your support, we are able to help some individuals and families in need at this time of the year. Please send along a non perishable item to help fill the hamper located in the school foyer. We are collecting items until Thursday, October 9th, 2025.

While Ms. Mercer is away, we welcome Ms. Trainor as our Music Teacher. Ms Trainor is highly qualified in music education and brings a great deal of international teaching experience to the role. We look forward to continuing the great things that quality experiences in music provide for all of our young learners.

As you are aware Tuesday, October 7th, 2025, is a NLSchools shut-down day for Staff Development. Many of the schools in our region are closed for students including All Hallows Elementary.

School Pictures will be taken on Wednesday, October 8th. For complete details, please see the information card that was in book bags last week. It is also attached to your email today.

Everyone will note that Monday, October 13th is the Thanksgiving Holiday and school is closed. You may also wish to mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025. The Harvest Run is set for that day and we will have about 70 students participate in this annual event that takes place on the running track at the Carbonear Recreation Complex.

Gratitude is extended to everyone who has contributed to the Terry Fox Foundation so far. While the web portal for donations is open all year, we would like to have Pledge Sheets and cash returned to us on or before Friday, October 17th, 2025.

September 28, 2025

We hope that you are enjoying this long weekend. Please remember that tomorrow, Monday, September 29th, is a Staff Development Day and Tuesday, September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and a school holiday. When we start classes again on Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, it is Day 1 on the Instructional Schedule.

In the week ahead, we will continue to support student learning connected to the truth and reconciliation process and matters important to our indigenous friends. There is a good deal of content within our K-6 curriculum which supports rich opportunities for learning on the matter. Take some time this week to explore your child’s understanding of why we pause to reflect on the symbolism presented by the orange shirt movement.

Appreciation is extended to everyone who has contributed to the Terry Fox Foundation so far. While the web portal for donations is open all year, we would like to have Pledge Sheets and cash returned to us on or before Friday, October 17th, 2025.

Please note that there are no classes on Tuesday, October 7th, 2025. This day is set aside by NL schools as a Staff Development day for many schools in this region including All Hallows Elementary. You may also want to note that school pictures will be taken on Wednesday, October 8th, 2025.

Here at All Hallows Elementary we are delighted to champion Karlee MacDonald and her Karlee Cares activities in support of Ronald MacDonald House. Karlee and her family send a huge THANK YOU to all of their kind supporters and look forward to another great year.

This school year, Karlee Cares is placing all the school’s donation of pull-tabs in a separate bin to show just how much support they receive from friends and staff at AHE. As a way of giving back, they will do a draw at school for some special prizes on our last day before Christmas and summer. So, please continue to collect and send in your pull-tabs and deposit them in the collection container in our school foyer. For details, please see a poster attached to your email.
