SJDL Weekly News
Week of August 25 - August 29
Loving God,
As we begin this new school year, we ask for the grace to live our legacy with joy and faith. May the example of those who came before us inspire us to walk in Your ways with courage, compassion, and love. Help us to share the Hope of Christ with everyone we meet—through our words, our actions, and the witness of our lives. Strengthen our community to be a light for others, always pointing to Your truth and goodness.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Year Theme: Living our Legacy, Sharing Hope
"Living our Legacy, Sharing Hope" aligns with your mission because it reflects both the heritage and the future of your school. Living our legacy acknowledges the deep roots in the tradition of Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac and the Company of Mary, carrying forward a faith-filled approach to education grounded in the Gospels. Sharing hope speaks to the active work of evangelization, forming students to be bearers of Christ’s love, peace, and joy in the world. Together, the phrase embodies the educational project’s vision of nurturing lives of service, fostering personal growth in virtue, and inspiring future generations to continue the mission.

Building Character in Children Through Catholic Values
At Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School, we help students grow in a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ, pursue excellence in learning, and live a life of service according to the Gospels. A key part of this mission is forming strong Christian character—teaching virtues like self-control, kindness, courage, service and wisdom.
In today’s world, online gaming, social media, and AI can easily pull young people toward doubt, distraction, comparison, and instant gratification. By grounding students in their identity as beloved children of God, we give them the tools to make wise choices, use technology responsibly, and keep Christ at the center of their lives.
Through prayer, service, and daily practice of virtue, our students learn to balance the digital world with what truly matters—living faithfully, loving others, and using their gifts to make a positive difference. Read more Building Character, Shaping Futures: Our TEAM Approach
2025-2026 Interactive Online Platform Policy
To protect the healthy development of students, beginning Wednesday, August 20, 2025, Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School will prohibit the use of any interactive online platform that allows communication, engagement reward or motivation feedback loops for all enrolled students. Children are not equipped to navigate the risks these platforms pose, including addiction, harmful content, and social pressure. Rooted in our Catholic mission, this policy fosters virtue, authentic relationships, and spiritual growth by removing digital distractions that conflict with our values. It is a formative measure intended to support students' dignity, integrity, and overall well-being.
