Building on the work of the Big Sisters Program, Loretto Abbey Catholic Secondary School's Archives Committee facilitated "Back to Ward: An 80s Abbey Mystery," an escape room designed to help Grade 9 students learn more about the school's history while working alongside senior leadership students in an inter-class competition. Congratulations to Mr. Vu's class for being this year's winners, escaping in a time of 51 minutes!
This totally tubular, 1980s-inspired experience would not have been possible without Ms. Steele and her leadership students, who ran the event, and Ms. Vautour and Mr. Lopes, who facilitated it alongside the Loretto Abbey Archives Committee.
The Loretto Abbey Archives Committee was formed to preserve the school's history and the legacy of the Loretto Sisters. In recognition of their work that includes this escape room mentorship activity, the LAT Archives Committee received a Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) Team Achievement Award and an Innovative and Exemplary Practice Award.
