Dear JS Parents,

We had a full house in prayers yesterday when our SK class delivered a message about the importance of having a growth mindset.  They shared a story they had read in class called “It’s O.K. to Make Mistakes” by Todd Parr.  Then, each student demonstrated great courage (one of Havergal’s values!) by telling us about a mistake she had made, and what she had learned from it. They reminded us that as important as it is to be proud when we have done something well, it is also o.k. to welcome the inevitable “oh oh” moments as opportunities to reflect, learn and grow.

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
