HALLOWEEN IN THE JUNIOR SCHOOL
JS students will celebrate Halloween on Monday, October 31. Students should come to school in grub (non-uniform) clothing during the day, and bring their costumes to change into after lunch. This year, our Halloween Committee has worked hard to make sure that the girls have a spooktacular time. Each class will participate in door decorating, a dance party, Halloween crafts, a costume contest, and even attend an assembly. We ask that you do not send in any candies or sweets, as the school has arranged for all students to have a tasty treat.
TERRY FOX UPDATE
Last Friday, our Junior School community came together for our 10th Annual Terry Fox Run. Inspired by Terry's bravery and following in his determined footsteps, our students from JK to grade 6, along with faculty, staff and so many parents ran the course through our beautiful campus on a striking fall day. Thank you to everyone who came out to run, volunteer and cheer on our girls. If you are interested in donating and have not yet had a chance to do so, you are still able to make a donation on Havergal's Terry Fox page by following this link until the end of next week:
