Congratulations Abrielle Watson Grade 6

Medicine Hat Catholic Board of Education
M r. B l a c k m e r ’s M e s s a g e :
The school year has now come to its official close! Our 50th anniversary
year has been very eventful and tremendous year for growing in
knowledge, the arts and of course our Catholic faith. Again, I must reiterate
how very proud I am to be the principal of such an outstanding school with
terrific students, an amazing staff, and wonderfully supportive parents! I
am very grateful to all of you! As we end this academic year, I pray that all
in our school community would enjoy a great summer with rest and relaxation among friends and family. I also wish to take this time to wish all those
who will not be returning to St. Michael’s all the best in their future endeavors, especially to a few of our families who are moving away from the community of Medicine Hat. I also wish a fond farewell to two of our treasured
staff members; Miss Gregus who will be leaving her grade two position
here to work full time at St. Francis Xavier, and Mrs. Domagala, who after
years of work in our Early Learning Program, is beginning her welldeserved retirement! Both of these wonderful ladies will be greatly missed
for their outstanding contributions towards excellence of learning at St.
Michael’s.
