Dear JS Parents,

With only ten more school days to go until the end of the school year, we have been reflecting with the students about the messages we have been hearing in prayers and thinking about our most memorable moments of the year. We then challenged our entire community to make these last days together as positive and productive as possible, before heading our separate ways for the summer.

This afternoon, we joined together for one of the most anticipated events of the year…GATOR DAY!  A huge thanks to Ms. Bartlett, Ms. Szolopiak, and Ms. Cameron for organizing a fantastic day.

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
