Principal Weekly Update
February 4, 2022
Dear Families,
How often we are reminded of the power of kind words, the importance of placing value on one another and the reaching out to include everyone.
Through our lived actions each day, we forgive one another and recognize that making mistakes is part of growing and learning. The students at JPI show us each and every day that their journey is a journey of the heart. We celebrate diversity and we embrace a culture of belonging.
AS a learning community, we celebrate that friendship and belonging are a gift from the heart!
"God's love is unbounded it has no limits"
Pope Francis
During the month of February. students and staff will find may ways to ensure that we are opening our hearts to one another. We will continue to share our generous heart with those in need.
The gift of “friendship” and “belonging” in our school will also be at the center of February’s commitment to kindness.
Kind words and the image of children joining hands and welcoming everyone into our community embraces the concept of “inclusion” in our school. WE BELONG!
