St. Timothy, our patron saint, was born in Lystra, Asia Minor. He was a convert to Christianity who traveled with St. Paul in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. Paul and Timothy were imprisoned in Rome and it is believed that upon Timothy's release, he was appointed the first Bishop of Ephesus. Records indicate that he was martyred in the year 97. In our efforts to meet the diversified needs of our students, we acknowledge and rejoice in cultural diversity.
Commonality is found by focusing on our Catholic beliefs, common roots, and common values.
As each child is unique and brings a variety of different experiences to the classroom, activities presented to the students also reflect the differences and needs of all in order to unify and promote common growth. The notion of our Christian families is another unifying force. The real life application of how we live these Christian values in our families is used to enhance the growth in our community. As teachers, we take the role of initiating the welcoming and gathering of our students while promoting that a common standard of behaviour is internalized and understood. This will subsequently help to ensure the safety of all students.
