SJFJr NEWS

Dear SJF Jr. Community,

Welcome to this new school year!

We were delighted to meet our students last week. The school was vibrating with joy, positive energy, and happiness. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new students and parents who are joining this wonderful learning community. We will have an amazing school year and I am so proud to be SJFJr Principal!

I am looking forward to seeing you, whether it's at the fence in the morning, or during school hours if you are a volunteer during a school activity. Don't hesitate to come see me, it is always a pleasure to discuss with you.

Today, we will have our first School Assembly. We will take the opportunity to review our School Code of Conduct with all our students, and we will also reveal this year's school theme: Together, we can!

I will have the pleasure of telling them a story about celebrating our diversity, helping each other, the value of friendship, the power of kind words, and foremost, the great things we can accomplish when we join our efforts. Because Together, we can!

Best regards,

Eve-Marie Durand

Principal/directrice
