Dear Junior School Parent:

What better way to start the Thanksgiving long weekend, than with the Harvest Festival! I feel particularly grateful to our students, who under the thoughtful care and direction of  Mr. Jeff MacLean and Ms. Rachel Read, sang so beautifully! Thank you, as well, to Ms. Goodridge, our Director of Performing Arts for overseeing the entire program.  We are thankful to our faculty and staff for all of their support to prepare for this event. Finally, it was absolutely lovely to have Ms. Misson with us for this highly anticipated and loved event. For all of those who were able to join us, we hope you were as inspired as we were!

Harvest Festival is a longstanding Havergal Junior School tradition.  It not only allows to acknowledge all of our many blessings but also helps us to remember the importance of sharing the bounty.  We are also pleased to let you know that our community was able to collect 1455 pounds of food for the North York Harvest Food Bank. Thank you for your generosity.

On behalf of all of the staff and faculty of the Junior School, we wish you a restful and happy Thanksgiving weekend.

Yours sincerely,

Kate White
