Glenmary School is very proud of Mrs. Coen's Religion 25 class who spearheaded the Helping Hands Healing Hearts Initiative.
After the Kamloops discovery, students in Religion 25, who were just starting a unit on Indigenous Spirituality, reached out to Mrs. Coen with ideas of being able to do something to help. After some class discussions, they decided they wanted to honour the students of the St. Augustine Mission on Shaftsbury Trail.
The Peace River Museum and Peace River Aboriginal Interagency Committee are working together to do this very thing, so the funds raised are going to help with signage at the Monument here in Peace River where it is more accessible for people to learn about the Indigenous history of Peace River.
Their goal was to raise $430, a dollar donation for each Handprint on the walls of Glenmary. Our school surpassed this goal, raising just over $490. Also, Mr. Andy Gullion, a friend from Rainbow Lake heard about the project, and donated $430 in memory of his mother and aunt, Anne Gullion and Juliette Turk (nee Ghostkeeper), who attended the St. Marten's Residential School in Wabasca from 1927-1933.
Thank you to the Glenmary School community and Mr. Andy Gullion for your generous support. We look forward to seeing the signage at the Treaty 8 Monument in Peace River.
The Holy Family Catholic Regional Division (HFCRD) congratulates Jennifer Anderson who will be the Acting Principal of Holy Family School in Grimshaw in the 2021/22 year. She brings 20 years of teaching experience to this position and has been part of the Holy Family School and Holy Family Parish since 2004. Jennifer has been the Vice Principal of Holy Family School in Grimshaw since 2015 so she is very familiar with the school and community.
“Jennifer has been a strong member of the Holy Family School community for many years. She will be an excellent leader for the school,” said Superintendent Betty Turpin. “Jennifer’s professional experience and her strong faith in God will make her successful in this new role.”
After earning her Bachelor of Education from the University of Alberta in 2001, she moved up north to McLennan for her first teaching position at École Providence School. After three years, she moved to Grimshaw to join the staff at Holy Family School. Through her years of service, Jennifer has been a teacher, student services coordinator, and faith coordinator. She has also been the Vice Principal at Holy Family School since the fall of 2015.
“I am really excited for the challenge of being Principal at Holy Family in the upcoming school year,” said Jennifer. “I am looking forward to taking on this new leadership opportunity in a school community so near and dear to my heart.”
The Holy Family Catholic Regional Division (HFCRD) warmly congratulates Krista Veitch who will be the new Principal of Good Shepherd School in Peace River. Krista is transferring from Holy Family School in Grimshaw where she has been the Principal for the last school year. Krista was also the Principal of Ecole Providence School in McLennan from 2014 to 2020. She brings years of teaching and administrative experience to this position, which will be a great benefit to the Good Shepherd School community.
“Throughout her time with HFCRD, Krista has become a confident leader who led Ecole Providence School through its growth in recent years and then led Holy Family School throughout most of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Superintendent Betty Turpin. “Krista’s past success with fostering a positive learning environment for students will be a great asset as she moves into this new role.”
Krista graduated from Memorial University in Newfoundland and began her teaching career in 1999. She moved to Alberta in 2012 to teach at St. Stephen’s School in Valleyview. She was the Principal of Ecole Providence in McLennan for the past 6 years and during that time she earned her Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. While at Providence, she developed a passion for improving school culture and providing students positive learning experiences. In 2020, she became the Principal of Holy Family School where she focused on creating a positive learning environment throughout the pandemic.
“I am grateful for the staff, students, families and community members of Holy Family School. Although I have only been part of this school community for a short time, I am grateful to everyone who warmly welcomed me to the school,” said Krista. “While it is difficult to leave, I am looking forward to working and establishing the same strong relationships with the staff, students and families at Good Shepherd School.”
We are blessed to be able to celebrate the Class of 2021 of Glenmary School today! Although we will miss having the support of friends and family in the room with us, we are grateful to have an in-person ceremony with our graduates. Congratulations graduates! We are incredibly proud of you all!
