St. Josephine Bakhita Catholic Elementary School Needs a Mascot!

We need a mascot for Waterloo Catholic District School Board’s newest elementary school, St. Josephine Bakhita! If you are a student who will be attending St. Josephine Bakhita CES in September, you are invited to submit suitable mascot names or ideas to be considered using this survey.  We will be selecting a mascot that represents the virtues of St. Josephine Bakhita – strength, resilience, and perseverance. The survey is open until March 20, 2023.  No personal information will be collected directly from you or automatically from your device.  Information on this form is collected under the Education Act (169.01(1)) and in compliance with MFFIPA.
