Message from Head of Junior School: November 1, 2019

On By havergaljuniorschool

Dear Junior School Parent:

Students and teachers in the Junior School didn’t let a little rain and wind get in the way of celebrating Halloween.  It was lovely seeing everyone dressed up in their costumes, and getting into the spirit of the day. Thank you to all those that joined us for our Halloween Parade and Assembly.

It has been an action-packed few weeks at the Junior School, and we woke up this morning to be greeted by winter’s first dusting of snow.  As we head into the weekend, we hope you find some time to take a breath, stay warm, and enjoy the company of family and friends

Yours sincerely,

Kate White
