Congratulations, Ashley!
In celebration of St. Joseph the Worker, the patron saint of all workers, the YCDSB Pathways to EmployABILITY Program (PEP) invited students in the Special Education Program to participate in a meaningful art contest. The challenge? To create a visual depiction of St. Joseph and Jesus working side by side, answering the call of their vocation with love, purpose and faith.
We are proud to announce that Ashley Gifford, a talented student from St. Brother André CHS, has been selected as the winner of the St. Joseph the Worker Prayer Card Art Contest!
Ashley’s stunning artwork, both thoughtful and faith-filled, will be featured on the official PEP program prayer card, serving as a symbol of devotion and inspiration across our Board. Ashley was formally recognized at the May 5 SEAC meeting, where she was presented with a framed copy of her winning piece.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to all the students who participated in the contest. Your creativity, artistic expression and faith-filled reflections deeply moved and inspired us.
This initiative is a shining example of how our students continue to share their God-given gifts in meaningful and lasting ways.
Well done, Ashley – we are so proud of you!
