Dear JS Parents,
We had another action packed week at the Havergal Junior School! This week, on Monday and Tuesday, girls in grades 3,4,5 and 6 learned how to make `Pets de soeurs` -in French! We welcomed Chef à L’école Suzanne Warner to the Junior School with her fun and educational program to provide a unique hands-on experience in French.
On Thursday, June 1st the JK students celebrated their success in the annual giving campaign with a picnic on the Cohen Field. The girls enjoyed blowing bubbles, playing games and eating cookies in the sunshine with their Grade 5 Haverpals.
Also on Thursday, Cricket Canada came to Havergal Junior School Phys Ed classes to teach the girls the fundamentals of one of the biggest sports in the world.
Warmly,

Junior School families can now participate in the Used Books
Collection and Sale, also known as the "Upper School Used Textbook
Collection and Sale". This consignment sale is through the Canadian
School Book Exchange (CSBE) where parents can drop off their books at Havergal
for the CSBE to sell over the summer. The best part is that not only will
you receive a cheque when your books sell, but Havergal will also receive some
of the proceeds of the sale! This is a great opportunity to declutter
while recycling your gently used books. In past years, this amazing sale
has raised between $22,000 to $30,000 with proceeds going to the Havergal
College Parent Association, funding many of our parent engagement initiatives
and also supporting the Limitless Campaign. It's one of our biggest
fundraisers! Please bring in any gently used books and help us reach our
goals.
Used Book Collection:
Here are the 3 easy steps to take when consigning your books
with the Canadian School Book Exchange (CSBE):
1)
If you are an Upper School family and have previously participated in
this before, check your
email as CSBE will be sending you a barcode if you had placed an order with
them this 2016-2017 school year.
(Junior School families who have not done this before, Don’t worry… if you do
not have a barcode, CSBE will create one for you on the day you arrive)
2) Bring
your barcode (if you have one) and all of your books to the collection day
3) A CSBE
representative at the collection will provide you with stickers to attach to
the back of your books
Location:
Legacy Theatre
Dates/Times:
Wednesday, June
14 (11:30am – 1:30pm)
Thursday, June 15 (7:30am – 1:00pm)
Bring:
ALL BOOKS (School
and non-school related)
Please note:
CSBE will accept ANY books (in good condition
and that have not been written in) you wish to sell on consignment. Bring in
all of your school and non-school related books to sell, including children's
books, novels, coffee table books, university books etc... If there is a market
to sell them, CSBE will do so!
* Havergal
will not be accepting any books at the school after these dates but
you can still either arrange shipping direct to CSBE or wait until CSBE is back
at Havergal in October. We will keep you posted on the date.
Junior School textbooks belong to Havergal
Junior School and should be returned to the classroom teacher at the end of the
year. Those textbooks in Junior School should not be taken to this
collection and sale.
Used
Book Sale
Once the
CSBE has your books, they will sell them over the summer on consignment in an
efficient and fair manner. As your books sell, the CSBE will send your payment
directly to you. The CSBE will also take back books that have been on
the curriculum within the last five years, even if they are not on Havergal’s
curriculum the next year. Please note that net proceeds from the used textbook
sales support Havergal, which directly benefits all students.
