Message from the Head of Junior School: May 17, 2019

On By havergaljuniorschool

Dear JS Parents,

At the risk of tempting fate, it looks like spring may finally have sprung! On Monday, Rev. Douglas reminded us of the importance of rest in maintaining our mental health.  She then guided us in a mediation and asked us to breathe deeply as we thought about a “happy place.” As we head into the long weekend, I invite you to take the time breathe deeply as well and to spend time with family and friends in a way that makes you happy.

Sincerely,

Kate White

Library Books Return

It is not too early to start thinking about returning your library books! The official due date for all library materials is Friday June 7th.  Once books are returned and accounts are cleared, students will be able to borrow books for the summer, but only once their accounts have been cleared from the school year. Lists will be sent home on an as-needed basis. If you would like a list of outstanding library books, please email Erica Rodd at erodd@havergal.on.ca

Grandpals’ Day

The Junior School is opening its doors to grandparents and grandpals on Monday, June 3 from 10:30 am to 12 noon. Please invite your daughter’s grandparents/grand-friends to share a special morning of visiting classrooms, touring the girls’ favourite spots in the school, taking photos together at the HC photobooth and sharing some refreshments at recess.
