Message from Head of Junior School - April 13, 2018

Dear Junior School Parents,

The country has joined together this week, as we mourn the deaths of those killed in Friday's collision in Saskatchewan.  Havergal's flags flew at half-mast as a sign of respect.  A number of our students in the junior grades joined together for a lunch where they shared their feelings and thoughts on this tragic event.  


Sincerely,
Kate White
