Dear JWE Friends and Families,

It was wonderful to have so many friends and families join us for the holiday lunch here at our school. I quickly learned why this is such a special tradition, the feeling of connection, joy and fun was truly palpable. I think it may have been extra special because we’ve been unable to come together for the past few years. I also think it illuminated the importance of the home/school partnership, and how together we can make magic happen for our children.

I would like to wish each of you a wonderful winter break, filled with joy, good friends, family and memorable moments.

Cheers,

Lindy Sproul

JWE Principal
