While the holidays can foster a sense of joy and wonderment, there are those who suffer with feelings of depression, anxiety, and loneliness during this time of year. Whether it is because you are not able to gather with friends and family, or the loss of a loved one is felt stronger at Christmastime, there are ways to create hope during the holiday season. Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing the Mental Health Matters Campaign Hope for the Holidays. Where we share ways families can foster hope and joy this holiday season.

This From Student to Staff features a familiar face... Rachel Reid! Rachel attended Lakeland Catholic Schools and now serves the division as Principal at École Notre Dame Elementary School! "I chose to return to Lakeland Catholic for many reasons, however, having my family nearby and being able to teach in a Catholic school division, became top priorities in my life. Being able to share God's love with the students and staff of LCSD is a gift and brings a smile to my heart daily. Working in a small school division where you know other teachers and administrators is invaluable. I am glad I came back to LCSD and know we are making change in the world." #LCSDJoy
