Jean Vanier Catholic School
June 7th, 2019
Jean Vanier: Our School's namesake: Be Like Jean Vanier celebrating Unity during the Month of June
Jean Vanier taught us that unity helps us work and live together peacefully.
"One of the marvellous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals. When we pool our strength and share the work and responsibility, we can welcome many people, even those in deep distress, and perhaps help them find self-confidence and inner healing." ~Jean Vanier

Friendly reminder about keeping valuables at home
Our recess and lunchtime supervisors have noticed that some students have been bringing toys and other valuables to school. While fun, they can be lost or damaged, and often become a big distraction. Please talk to your child about keeping toys, especially Pokemon cards, at home. Thank you for your support in creating a focused learning environment.
