Message from the Head of Junior School: February 15, 2019

On By havergaljuniorschool

Dear JS Parents,

It’s been another full week in the Junior School!  We were all feeling the love yesterday as members of the Grade 4 class shared their thoughts on the things and people in their life that they love! It was the perfect way to end the week. As we head into the Family Day long weekend, we wish you a wonderful time with loved ones.

Warmly,
Kate White
