Dear Family and Friends of the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board:

There is nothing more joyous than witnessing the presence of Christ in our students and staff at this time of year. Throughout the Advent season we have seen our annual theme - Called To Be Our Story - come to life through celebrations of faith, charitable activities and acts of kindness.

We continue to be grateful for the relationship with our families and community partners. Together, we celebrate the gift of faith, the joy of hope and the blessing of His love.

I wish everyone a safe and restful holiday and may the miracle of Christmas fill your hearts.

Yours in Faith,

Brian Beal

Director of Education

Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board

This year’s Christmas card artwork (pictured above) was submitted by Elise Holla a Grade 8 student from Monsignor Clair Catholic School. Her work will grace the front our official Christmas card, which will be distributed to our partners in Catholic education across the province.
