Dear Junior School Parents,
As I write this message, the snow is falling outside, making for an unusual end to the first week of April! With that being said, it has not dampened the spirits of our students as they are taking part in all that Havergal has to offer
On Monday morning, I was outside for drop-off and was so pleased to see that as students got out of their cars, they were running into school, greeting one another, and showed genuine excitement to start their day. When you come to visit, I invite you to observe how our girls walk through the halls, how engaged they are in their learning, and the smiles on their faces.
