On April 20 - 22,  our school hosted the 10 and under boys B basketball tournament! As part of the tournament, our committee organized a breakfast! The event was a huge success. We would like to thank all of those who donated food, purchased a breakfast or made a donation for this event. We would also like to thank the students who served, the ladies who cooked, those who delivered breakfasts and the ladies who collected the proceeds on the door.

Once again, on behalf of the committee and students of Fatima Academy, we would like to say another big thank you. It was a great opportunity for all of the residents of Branch, Point Lance, St. Bride's, Cuslett, Angel's Cove and Patrick's Cove to socialize and support a worthy cause.

Point Lance for a Dart!

We would like to thank all those who attended or made donations to the dart tournament in Point Lance on April 21st. The event was a huge success and raised over a thousand dollars for our new playground! The students of Fatima Academy are anxiously waiting for build day on June 1st!

We would like to thank all of those who organized and assisted with the event. Your hard work will allow this project to be a success.

Another Boat Joins the Crew!

We would like to thank the fishing enterprise, Candace and Kids for contributing to our playground project. Your worthy contribution will make our students' dream a reality!

Top Your Total!

Recycling drive a huge success!!!!
During the month of March, we held a recycling drive in aid of the playground. This was the best drive yet. A sincere thank you goes out to the children and adults who collected recyclables.  A huge thank you is also extended to the individuals who gave. 

MMSB hosted a contest during March month. We had to beat our monthly average from last year! Fatima's was 3052! After we collected 3052 recycables, we earned an extra five cents per container. Our totals will be announced in the coming days!

Under The B!

Fatima Academy will open its doors on Thursday evenings for anyone wishing to play the Lions Club T.V. Bingo. Doors will open at 7:30pm. Canteen services will be available. Cards can be purchased at Mannings, Atlantica Inn or at the school. There will be no spins of tickets on these evenings.  During April, the extra game played will be in aid of the playground.  Your support is greatly appreciated.
