On January 29, St. Michael Catholic Elementary School had the privilege of welcoming retired CFL star Simoni Lawrence for a special visit focused on the power of reading and personal growth. The event began with a reading of Be You! by Peter H. Reynolds, a book that celebrates individuality and self-confidence. Following the reading, Simoni delivered an engaging and energetic talk, inspiring students to be courageous, curious, and persistent in all they do. He emphasized the importance of being their authentic selves while demonstrating kindness and respect—values that align with our Catholic school community.
The excitement didn’t end there! Simoni took the time to connect with students, offering high fives, posing for photos, and sharing words of encouragement. As a generous gesture, he donated 200 tickets to the upcoming Concacaf Champions Cup, ensuring that many of our students and their families can experience the thrill of live soccer. St. Michael CES extends its heartfelt gratitude to Simoni Lawrence for his time, generosity, and uplifting message, which left a lasting impact on our school community.
