Dear Junior School Parents,
Today, our JK and SK students welcomed the onset of Spring, which seems to have finally arrived, with a concert filled with songs and poetry. We are also very much looking forward to the performances of the girls in Grades 1 - 6 on Tuesday. In addition, we are excited to welcome all of our Grandpals to the Junior School on Friday. We will also be celebrating the arts during lunch recess. Please CLICK HERE to learn more about the exciting activities we have planned. It is going to be a wonderful week!
This week both the Upper and Junior School participated in Mental Health Awareness Week. To learn more about what this looked like in the Junior School, CLICK HERE.

Tuesday, May 15 (5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
ADMISSIONS TEAM NEEDS YOUR HELP
Admissions needs volunteers to help with Havergal’s Welcome Family Program. This initiative helps welcome our new families to the Junior School. Welcome Families will be asked to connect with one of our new families via email or phone to help make them feel a part of our community before they start in September. Families may have questions that only a parent can answer and it is so nice for them to make a connection with someone who already has the ins and outs of life at the Junior School. To learn more about becoming a Welcome Family please click the link below.
