Kindness Convention:

On Wednesday afternoon, the school was buzzing with kindness! Students signed up for 2 sessions and got to try different activities in mixed grade groups. Activities ranged from activities that help us feel calm and happy like dancing, making music, finger knitting, colouring and creating. Working together, students spread kindness throughout the school! Thank you JJ teachers for organizing such a fun a community-building event!


Spring Concerts:

Mrs. Paul and the students in grades 1 to 4 have been working hard on their Spring Concerts. The concerts will take place on March 7 and 14. Mrs. Paul has sent an email to all families of grade 1 to 4 students and details can be found here: Spring Concert


Kindergarten Learning:

Kindergarten students represented what fills their hearts with happiness, inspired by the book My Heart Fills With Happiness by Cree author Monique Gray Smith.
