Custodian Appreciation Day - Thank you, Mr. Scully!
We celebrated Custodian Appreciation Day on Wednesday by thanking Mr. Scully for all the hard work and dedication he puts into keeping our school a clean, safe and welcoming environment for everyone! Mr. Scully plays a crucial role in our community and we wanted to make sure he knew that all of his hard work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you, Mr. Scully! We are truly fortunate to have you on Team JD!
Primary Choir
We are so pleased that Mr. Gale is organizing Primary Choir this year! All students in grades 1,2 and 3 who love singing and are interested in joining choir are asked to join Mr. Gale during second lunch (at 1:40pm) in the library. Practices will be every Wednesday, starting on October 9th. We can't wait to hear what beautiful and fun pieces they will be performing for us!
Basketball Teams
It is basketball season and the grade 7/8 students are excited for tryouts, practices and upcoming games! A big shout out to Mr. Dallier for coaching the girls team once again and to Coach Fraser for returning to help with the boys team. Go Dolphins!
Grade 4-8 Choir and JD Band
Grade 4-8 choir started their rehearsals this week as did the JD band. Both groups rehearse during second recess. Thank you to Mrs. Worrall for making it all happen!
