Last Thursday we put our creativity (and our sense of humour) to the test with “Anything But a Backpack Day!” Instead of the usual backpacks, our students brought their books and supplies in wagons, coolers, baskets, laundry bins, toy trucks, and even a Town of Bonnyville garbage can! 🗑️😂
From shopping carts to tricycles, from storage bins to pet carriers, we saw it all rolling, sliding, and cruising through the gym. It was absolutely hilarious and everyone got a huge kick out of it - students and staff alike!
Thank you to everyone who participated and made this spirit day such a memorable one. We love seeing our students’ imaginations at work - and these pictures are proof that we know how to have fun at Dr. Brosseau!

🌓🍪 Our Grade 5 students had a blast learning about the phases of the Moon using OREO cookies! By twisting, munching, and arranging the cookies, they explored how astronomical phenomena—like the Moon’s phases—follow predictable patterns and cycles. Science is always more fun (and delicious!) when it’s hands-on! 🌕✨

Rooted in our Catholic values, we develop student-athletes with purpose — building confidence, resilience, and faith both on and off the rink.
100 Student Faith Leaders from 7 of our schools gathered at Camp St. Louis to reflect on the past year and plan for the next. Students participated in Liturgy of the Word, 2 faith formation sessions, games, a guided nature prayer walk, praise & worship, and announced a new branding of our faith leadership groups. We bid a fond farewell to YLL & a reenergized hello to IGNITE TEAM!!

🌟 Classroom Connections in 6D! 🌟
Last Friday, 6D had the privilege of welcoming Ms. Blanco into their classroom. As one of our amazing school custodians, Ms. Blanco usually works behind the scenes—but this visit flipped the script!
She took time to introduce herself, answer thoughtful questions, and build genuine connections with the students. 💬🤝
Bonus takeaway: 6D gained a new appreciation for the work custodians do—and a better understanding of how small actions (like cleaning up after ourselves in the classroom!) can make a big impact. 🧹💙
