In light of Pink Shirt day today, the student council worked with the entire school to create a simple mural which was a “mosaic of kindness”. They asked students to write different “acts of kindness” on a slip of paper and put together the mural to share with everyone. It is the infinity symbol with an outpouring of kindness and certainly helps everyone understand the importance and value of loving and respecting the dignity of all.

We are pleased to announce that this year we presenting the Christian Witness award to Chris Bzdel. Chris lives each day thinking about what Jesus would do. She is constantly seeking ways to help those around her. One of Chris's many charisms is prayer and she will often reach out and pray at the moment with someone in need of prayer. Her motto is "If I say I will do a prayer for you, I will do a prayer with you right there and hopefully this will put a little ease in your heart and mind knowing that Christ is with you". Another charism is giving. Chris gives where it is needed, One of everyone’s favourite giving is her baking. She is the first one to offer her homemade baking for any school or church event. Chris is someone who takes great joy in her faith journey and searches out resources such as Bishop Barron, Blessed is She and Abiding Together. Chris's care, concern and love for her family and colleagues is always evident. Reaching out and checking in with everyone is natural for Chris and we are so blessed to have her on the team at St. Anthony's School.
