KINDERGARTEN CHRISTMAS CONCERT
Our Junior and Senior Kindergarten students are feeling the Christmas
Cheer, and can’t wait to “shine” in their “Star” theme concert. Families
and friends of students of kindergarten students are invited to join us on
Monday, December 19 at 2:00 pm in the JS Gym, for what is sure to be a
fantastic start to the holiday season.
GRADE 1 – 6 CHRISTMAS CONCERT
It’s that time! Yes, the ‘official’ start to the holiday is taking place
on Tuesday, December 20 as the girls in grade 1-6 will perform in their
long-awaited, much-anticipated JS Christmas Carol Program – “We the North”.
I look forward to seeing it with you at 6:30 pm in the Brenda Robson Hall at
the Upper School. I’d like to offer the following important informational
items to help you help us ensure a successful performance:
Tickets:
- Parents are invited to pick up their two tickets for the concert at the JS office ASAP. Parents can send their children to pick up their tickets if that is more convenient.
- Anyone not planning on using their Christmas concert tickets, please email Karen Nielsen at knielsen@havergal.on.ca by Thursday, December 15th.
- We will contact all parents who requested extra tickets by Friday, December 16th to let them know if we are able to accommodate them.

- 5:45-Grade 6 Arrival;
- 5:55 - Grade 5 Arrival;
- 6:15 - Grade 1-4 Arrival; 6:05-6:30 Grade 5 & 6 Performing in EK,
- Concert Timing: 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Attire:
- Girls must wear “Concert Attire”, consisting of #1 dress uniform, with
special attention to the following: (1) a long sleeve white shirt, and (2) hair
should be pinned back from the face using a hair accessory such as a small pin,
or a headband without colour, sparkles, or embellishments.
Exiting the Auditorium:
- Please exit through the marked exits, specific
instructions are outlined on the back page of the concert program.
Pick Up/Rendezvous:
- To avoid congestion at the conclusion of the concert, we ask that only one parent/adult collect students from the holding areas indicated on the back page of the concert program.
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
- There were 15 pedestrians struck recently in the span of 24 hours in the city of Toronto. As the days get darker sooner and the snow begins to fall, it is a good time to remind our girls to walk safely. Waiting at lights, and going to designated crossing sections are all good and prudent practices.
CLUBS
- Thank you for returning your club forms. We will inform families what clubs students have been admitted to, on Monday, December 19.
STUDENT INSTITUTE TEAM
- Does your daughter have an idea, question, or curiosity about the world she would like to explore?Wednesday morning Student Institute Team (SIT) sessions will begin this week on December 7th from 7:45 am-8:20 am in the Hub. Open to all students Grades 1-6.
