Dear SJFJr Community,

As we embrace the month of May and the beautiful warmer days it brings, we are filled with a renewed sense of energy and excitement! The sunshine is lifting everyone’s spirits, and we are thrilled to see students enjoying more time outdoors. However, we kindly remind you that mornings can still be quite chilly — please ensure your child dresses in layers to stay comfortable throughout the day.

Even as we welcome the joys of spring, our commitment to learning remains strong. Students are continuing to work hard to prepare for upcoming evaluations and to finish the school year at their very best. To keep their school experience vibrant and balanced, we have planned a variety of fun activities that complement their academic efforts, making school life both enriching and joyful.

We are so proud of the enthusiasm and dedication our students show each day. I wish everyone a beautiful month of May, filled with growth, happiness, and success!

Warm regards,

Mme Durand

🧣 Entrepreneurial Program Highlights

We are so proud of our students’ achievements this year, especially with the Cozy Scarf Project, which won locally and went on to the regional committee! Although it wasn’t selected at that level and no funding was provided this year, our students continued to work hard and completed their initiatives.
Here are the amazing projects:

• Green Kids: Composting for a Better Tomorrow
• Bracelets of Friendship: Connecting Generations
• Upcycling: Turning Trash into Treasure!
• Kindy Crafters
• Cozy Scarfs

Way to go, SEED students!

🥪 Free Subway Lunch – May 20

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in the SEED program. Let’s make this a May to remember!

Warmly,
The SEED Team
