Dear JS Parents,

We have had another full week!  At prayers yesterday, we celebrated our students in Grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 all of whom participated in at least one math contest this year. Havergal students placed exceptionally well, and we are very proud of their efforts. Today, our Junior School Prefects spoke about what leadership meant to them and welcomed the Grade 5 students as upcoming leaders of the Junior School.

We wish you all a wonderful weekend, with lots of time to enjoy the sun.

Sincerely,

Kate White

Gator Day

Last Friday the girls had a full afternoon filled with fun at the annual Gator Day. Congratulations to Frances Ridley who were rewarded the Gator Day cup.

Summer Reading Challenge

In between popsicles, family fun and swimming, summer reading is a wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon or a long evening sunset. Summer reading supports your daughter in maintaining and building upon her learning as well as being enjoyable and a great family activity. To help support your daughter’s reading habits over the summer, we have another Summer Reading Challenge!

Your daughter will be bringing home the materials and instructions, and they can also be found here at this link.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer full of fun and fabulous books!
