As you know, we are raising funds during Lent for our sister school in Antonci . For those fami-
lies who are new to our school, this fundraising project has been going on for over 20 years at
St. John XXIII. Through the Grey Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, we have been twinned
with an elementary school in the town of Antonci in the Dominican Republic. Every year during
the season of Lent, our social justice project is to raise funds for their school. Over the years
we have helped them acquire a well for fresh water, repairs following a hurricane disaster,
books, shelves, paint, windows, gym equipment etc. We don't know yet what the specific goal will
be for this year, but we are already gearing up to help out our friends in any way we can. Be on
the lookout for an Antonci information page update.

What’s New, St. John XXIII?
We had excellent participation in our school’s Public Speaking contest this year and we congrat-
ulate all the students who made it to the competition in the gym. The results from the competi-
tion are as follows: Primary Division—1st Abbey Murree, 2nd Jake Redmond, Runner Up Emma
Gutz; Junior Division—1st Cole Maisonneuve, 2nd Jordan Tate, Runner Up Allison Niblett.
Abbey, Emma, Allison and Kade Chaput (4th place in junior) represented St. John XXIII at the
Arnprior Legion competition on Family Day Weekend. We are pleased to share that Abbey
placed third in her division. Super work!
An extra special thank you to our volunteer judges: Cheryl Pulcine, Carol Byce and Jane Val-
lentyne and to Mrs. Mulligan & Mrs. Boileau, who organized the school competition.
The first round of the Kindergarten Carnival has been completed. We had 76 very tired stu-
dents after a morning of skating and an afternoon of Zumba! Thank you to all of our parent
volunteers who helped tie skates at the rink. Thank you to Ms. Ogle for running the Zumba
classes and to the Kindergarten team for getting everything organized. Round two will occur
March 6th!
The primary (gr. 1-3) winter trip to the Mill of Kintail was a great success even if we had to
reschedule one of the trips three times. Students enjoyed a day outdoors filled with snow-
shoeing. Thank you to those parents who assisted. In addition, thank you to Mrs. Mulligan for
organizing this event.
The junior ski day has been postponed until Tuesday, March 7th. Let’s pray for snow over the
course of the next week!!!!
