"Every child, every person needs to know they are a source of joy; every child, every person needs to be celebrated". Jean Vanier
Be Like Jean Vanier-from our School Spirit Team
I am honest.
I can be trusted to keep my word.
I have no need to impress others.
I accept myself.
I tell the truth, kindly and tactfully.
Leadership Message
New Life, Spirit, and just a little bit of Crazy Fun at Jean Vanier! This week, on top of growing our brains as mathematicians, readers, writers, scientists, artists, and young citizens, we snuck in A LOT of Oiler Spirit and a little CRAZY fun! Many thanks to our staff, students, and parents for continuing to help make JV a GREAT place to learn and grow!
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. John 12:24-26
Our prayer focus this week was, New Life, introduced at our pm assembly on Monday. Thanks to our parents who were able to join us. As we continue to celebrate the Easter season at Jean Vanier, we see the wonder and glory of new life around us and within us. Jesus taught us that through suffering, we find strength and forgiveness. This leads us to the joy of our faith. We cannot control what happens to us but we can control how we respond. As our students face learning, emotional, and social challenges, we remind them of the trust and love God surrounds us with. This is our joy, our faith, and the rock we hang onto in moments of suffering. We are an Easter people, Alleluia indeed!
Crazy Hair day!
Congratulations Mrs. Wispinski!
Farewell and Blessings to our Student Teachers!
