Volunteer Tea

Thank you to all of the volunteers that were able to attend our volunteer tea on Friday. JJ's staff and students are so appreciative of the people who give their time to contribute to our school! You really help our garden grow and thrive! Scroll down for some pictures of the beautiful art that decorated the gym, created by students from kindergarten to grade 4!

Congratulations!

We would like to recognize Keeyanna in grade 4 for winning a prize in the Calgary Police Service's Crime Prevention Contest. Keeyanna designed a poster to teach kids how to be safe all around the community.

You can find information about the contest here: Contest

We are hoping more JJ students enter the contest next year!

We love to celebrate the achievements of our JJ community. Please email Mrs. Schmitt at kaschmitt@cbe.ab.ca if you have a celebration to share about your child.
