St. John’s, did you know that April is Diversity Month? At SJC we want to celebrate the diverse cultural heritages that exist in our Catholic school community, especially during Diversity Month. We would like to have Thursday, April 28th be a Diverse Cultural Heritage Day at SJC. The ACE Committee, SJC’s social justice club, will be meeting tomorrow-Thursday on Junior lunch in the Divine Mercy room to discuss and plan our Cultural Heritage Diversity Day. All are welcome to come and participate. 

Attention students looking for community hours opportunities. The Paris Soccer Club is looking for volunteer coaches and assistant coaches. Students can email the Paris Soccer Club at admin@parissoccer.ca. The St. George Soccer Club is also looking for volunteer coaches. The St. George Soccer Club offers a free clinic for all coaches. Students can email the St. George Soccer Club at admin@stgeorgesoccerclub.ca. Also, a program that serves breakfast to the homeless at Alexandra Presbyterian Church on Colborne Street in Brantford is looking for kitchen help and serving help on Thursdays between 8:45 and 9:45 am. This opportunity is open to students with a first period spare and their own transportation. Information is posted on the bulletin board outside of Student Services for all these opportunities.
