Dear JS Families,
Today’s House Shout brought together our whole school, from JK to Grade 12 to celebrate everyone’s House Pride and to engage in a little friendly conversation. It was wonderful to see everyone on The Ratcliffe Field, cheering and showing off some Havergal spirit! It was a wonderful way to welcome in the May long weekend! Please be sure to check out HC’s social media platforms for videos and pictures of the fun.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy, and sunny long few days with family and friends.
