Leadership Message
As the school year comes to a close, our minds and hearts are filled to the brim. It’s been a great year! Together we’ve learned much and shared experiences that will long remain with us in the years to come. The strength of our community and wholehearted passion to make our school a wonderful place of learning for our children primarily but for all makes Jean Vanier truly a special place.
Special thanks to our parents who have contributed in ways small, large, and unimaginable! Thank you for getting your kids to school on time each day and helping your kids in the learning process; the partnership between home and school is important.
We would like to thank our hard working and caring staff members who have made a huge difference to our students. Their commitment is outstanding and our kids are the beneficiaries. Thank you for providing rich and engaging, well-rounded experiences for our kids and knowing that education is about joy, wonder and fostering curiosity, along with the development of social skills so needed to succeed. For these, and a million other things, we are truly grateful.

Save the date for our Davison Orchards 2018 Apple Fundraiser - All orders due by 9:00am September 10th
We will be holding our apple fundraiser again this fall, but with school starting after the September long weekend, JV students and families will only have 3 days to get their orders in. All orders must be received by 9:00am September 10th. Profits from this fundraiser are used to buy the grade 4 leadership t-shirts. Please consider getting your order together over the summer. Details for the fundraiser are as follows:
Varieties offered:
1. Davison Honeycrisp: Amazing flavour and a unique texture have helped Honeycrisp take the apple world by storm! It has quickly become Davison's most requested apple and taken top spot as their customers’ favourite variety! It’s an awesome apple.
1 box $35 (approx. 15lbs.)
2. Gala: A fantastic apple that is great for snacking, with a unique red stripy colour and delicious flavour. Davison grows them crisp and sweet!
1 box $28 (approx. 15lbs.)
3. Okanagan Blend: This is a mixed box! Davison will mix 2 of their freshest varieties in one box. Great for both baking and fresh eating.
1 box $28 (approx. 15lbs.)
Apples to be delivered by September 20, 2018. Thank you in advance for your support in helping run a healthy and successful fundraiser.
Mark your calendars and save the date! We will be holding our Welcome Dance on Thursday, September 20th, 2018. More details to follow in the September weekly communication corners.

So! We are looking for your help!
If you have a testimonial that you would like to share with us on how the program has enriched your children, or they would like to share their own testimonial, we would love to hear from you!3 Avenues to Share Your Story
1) Written Testimonial - Please email bucpssecretary@gmail.com with your story with regards to the program.
2) Video Testimonial - We are also in the planning stages to possibly incorporate video testimonials as well, so if you are interested in recording or having your child record a video testimonial, please let us know!
3) In Person Testimonial - We would love to have a few students speak at the Open House on June 14th - it would be great to hear from students from all 3 schools (JV, St. T's and ABJ) who can speak to the program and what it has done for them.
If you are interested in any way with regards to sharing your story, please email bucpssecretary@gmail.com as soon as possible!
