On Saturday, February 7, 2026, Catholic Mission School (CMS) did not just open its gates; we opened our hearts.
Our goal was ambitious: to transform the school from an educational island into a vibrant bridge for our neighborhood. Looking back at the bustling crowd, the laughter, and the shared conversations, we can proudly say that the "Legend of the Caring Market" has officially begun.
The highlight of the day was seeing our students stepped into their roles as hosts and entrepreneurs. Through the Life Planning curriculum, they spent months designing, developing, and organizing their businesses. But on Saturday, they went beyond commerce. They practiced the art of hospitality, ensuring that every visitor felt like a part of the CMS family.
The campus came alive as a true "Heroes' Gathering Feast":
- Our 15 student-family-teacher charity booths showcased incredible creativity, offering everything from Lunar New Year treasures to holy objects for the soul.
- The "Paws & Pals" corner proved that our community includes our four-legged friends, while families captured memories at the "Heroic Moments" photo zones.
- The "Barter & Trade" corner sparked nostalgic interactions, proving that value is found in connection, not just currency.
True to our mission, this event was about "Connect" rather than just sales. However, thanks to the generosity of our neighbors, we successfully raised significant funds for animal welfare NGOs.
We successfully launched our 'Saturday Community School' initiative, proving that when we work together, we can indeed build a village of care in the heart of our city. Thank you for being part of our legend.
剛過去的二零二六年二月七日（星期六），天主教總堂區學校的校門大開，我們不僅迎接了鄰里街坊，更實踐了我們將學校轉化為「社區樞紐」的願景。回首當日，熙攘的人潮與歡聲笑語，共同譜寫了「太平山下。俠義傳情市集」的嶄新傳說。
這場市集的靈魂人物，正是我們的學生。結合學校的「生涯規劃」課程，他們化身為創業家，從零開始構思、設計並營運自己的攤位。而在當天，他們更展現了「僕人領袖」的風範。學生們明白，這不只是一次商業體驗，更是一堂關於「款待」的實踐課。他們熱情地招待每一位訪客，讓街坊感受到如家人般的溫暖與重視。
當日的校園彷彿變成了一場屬於鄰里的「英雄盛宴」，處處洋溢著活力與溫情：
- 由師生及家長攜手組成的「俠義聯盟」，精心打理15個慈善攤位。從學生親手製作的工藝品、農曆新年的應節珍寶，到滋養心靈的聖物，每個攤位都展現了無限心思。
- 「萌寵聚腳點」寵物專區大受歡迎，證明了我們的關愛擁抱所有生命；而「俠影留情」打卡區則記錄了無數家庭與毛孩的溫馨笑容。
- 「以物易物」交流區重現了昔日鄰里間的互動，大家交換的不只是物品，更是彼此的故事與情誼。這正好印證了我們的信念——連結比交易更珍貴。
願景成真：共建關愛之村
這次活動不僅成功為關注動物權益的非政府組織籌得善款，更標誌著CMS「週六社區學校」計劃正式啟動。
我們證明了學校不應是一座孤島，而是一座橋樑。感謝每一位參與的家長、街坊與師生，是你們讓 CMS 成為了城市中心真正的「關愛之村」。期待在未來的活動中，繼續與大家同行！
