We regret to inform our school community that a contracted bus, Valleyview Route 77, was in an accident today at approximately 7:50 AM, on Highway 665, near Range Road 212. One St. Stephen's student was on the bus. The families of all three student passengers were contacted, and the students and bus driver are being cared for at Valleyview Health Centre with non-life threatening injuries. We are grateful to our local first responders who responded quickly to the call. The safety of all students and staff remains our number one priority. The investigation into this situation continues, and we will update our community if more information becomes available. Please keep these students and the bus driver in your prayers.

It’s important we don’t shame or blame anyone who has been exposed to #COVID19AB. They need support, not stigmatization & should not fear coming forward if they have symptoms or are a close contact. We can’t curb the virus if we drive it underground.
The Holy Family Catholic Regional Division (HFCRD) is pleased to announce that Trustees Kelly Whalen and Brian Hill were re-elected as Board Chair and Vice Chair respectively at the Monday August 24th Regular Board Meeting. Both nominations were uncontested.
Whalen was first elected as Board Chair in 2016 and continues his tenure for the 2020/21 school year. First elected as a Ward 4 Sub 3 Peace River/Nampa Trustee in the January 2011 by-election, Whalen is starting his tenth year on the HFCRD Board of Trustees representing Good Shepherd and Glenmary Schools at the board table. Whalen also served previously as a Trustee with St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Schools for four years.
“I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve the HFCRD community for another year as Board Chair. The role of Board Chair has been very rewarding and I look forward to another fantastic year of important work with our Board and division administration,” said Board Chair Kelly Whalen. “Consistency is especially important this year as we work to re-open HFCRD schools safely. I would like to thank all HFCRD staff for their hard work and dedication to the safety of all families.”
Hill is entering his second year as Vice Chair. He was first elected as the Trustee representing Ward 4 Sub 2 Grimshaw in 2018. Vice Chair Hill is starting his third school year representing the Holy Family School community. Vice Chair Hill is passionate about Catholic education and looks forward to continuing his work on the Board of Trustees.
“Thank you to the Board of Trustees for re-electing me as the Vice Chair of this great school division. I am humbled to represent the entire school division, and especially my school community I care so much about,” said Vice Chair Hill. “Serving as Vice Chair has given me great insight into the needs of all HFCRD school communities, and I look forward to continuing our important work as we serve our communities and keep the safety of students and staff at the forefront of all decisions.”
This afternoon all division staff gathered (in spirit) to celebrate our faith with a division-wide mass and awards celebration.
Each school staff gathered in their gymnasiums to virtually watch Mass live-streamed from Our Lady of Peace Parish. Although this year is starting off very different, our HFCRD family remains strong and rooted in our faith.
