Dear Junior School Parents,
With only 12 more school days until the end of the school year, we are still going strong!
Yesterday, we were inspired Grade 4s led a special Prayers about Girl Power. They spoke about the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields and the portrayal of women in the media. They showed us pictures of t-shirts that are printed for girl, with slogans such as "I'm too pretty to do math" and "Things I am good at: Shopping, Dancing, Listening to Music...Things I am not good at: Math...Hey, you can't be good at everything!" Recognizing the need for active change, our girls then presented t-shirts that they designed with messages about Girl Power. CLICK HERE for pictures from this very special prayers.
Sincerely,

ATHLETICS
In the blink of an eye, spring athletics have come to an end. I am so proud of every girl who participated in Junior School spring athletics. They braved the elements and in a short time, they all grew tremendously in skill and confidence. Bravo!
Congratulations to our U12 Softball Team for winning the CISAA Championships!
Congratulation to our U12, U11, and U10 Track and Field team who competed in the championships. Results are to come.

Testing will begin promptly at 8:30 am each morning. Please have your daughter at school by 8:10 am so that she has time to get organized and settled before testing begins.
Sessions will last for approximately 1 hour on Tuesday and Friday mornings and for 2 hours on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. A makeup session is scheduled on Friday for students who may have missed any sections due to absences.
Ensuring your daughter gets a good night’s sleep, a healthy breakfast and some positive encouragement, is how you can best support your daughter next week.
