The school will have its official opening, March 14, with a Mass celebrated by Archbishop Thomas Collins. The two schools share a commercial kitchen and fine arts centre. They each have an individual gym and share a third gym, all of which open into one large gymnasium. The common area is also considered a community centre because it can be used by Sylvan Lake residents. But most importantly, the school retains its Catholic identity.
Every day begins with prayers.
Each classroom has a prayer corner and weekly religious celebrations involve all students and staff. Father Paul Moret of Our Lady of Assumption Parish visits the school. A Grade 1 teacher surveyed her class earlier in the year asking them why they like going to Mother Teresa. A lot of them said that. They said they liked that they get to pray.
