Carol Corriveau-Truchon Muskoka / Parry Sound Catholic Schools Trustee Nurturing faith, illuminating minds, inspiring hearts, and empowering hands ~ we are working together to transform the world. Our Board has eight trustees who represent the diverse Catholic school communities in Simcoe County and the District of Muskoka.

“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor . . . Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.”

Saint Mother Teresa

Welcome to March!  I hope it brings an opportunity for some downtime over the March Break and a time to prepare for Easter as Lent begins next week.

I have seen several articles lately on a shift from “giving something up”, to finding a way to make the world a better place through small acts of kindness or works of mercy throughout lent.  While sacrifice is important, many are suggesting that it may be even better if we can find a way to brighten the world around us as we prepare for Easter.

At the Board Table, Trustees will begin an in-depth analysis of the current year budget in preparation for our deliberations on the budget for the 2019-2020 school year.  We would appreciate your prayers as we go through the process, particularly this year.

I also hope that March brings some more settled weather to Muskoka, Parry Sound and Simcoe!

God Bless,

Carol Corriveau-Truchon
