June 2016 Newsletter
There are only 2 1/2 weeks left to the school year! These are often very busy days. There is still lots of learning, many end-of-year activities and celebrations, and we're planning for next year. Teachers are preparing Term 2 Report Cards which will go home on Tuesday, June 28th.
The JPS Country Fair which took place on Saturday, May 28th was a huge success. A big thanks goes to the organization of our positive, hard working parent council, their team of volunteers and our supportive, amazing families!
The Jayhawks had another successful track and field season! Thank-you once again to Mrs. Roberts for your coaching and organization of 60+ students who participated. Thanks also to the many staff who helped coach events - it was truly a team effort. We are very proud of the effort and accomplishments of the students no matter what result they achieved! Good-luck to the students who qualified to move on to the District Meet this Tuesday.
Mr. Fleet and the 7/8 class organized another fun, authentic French speaking experience - a primary water play day "en francais"! Well done!
Our Jump Rope for Heart event was our most successful yet. Our little school raised about $2000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation! We might be small, but we have big hearts! Thanks to our community for supporting this event and Mrs. Roberts for organizing.

2016 Fun Pass Information
This summer, fun costs less.
Through the 2016 Fun Pass, Ontario has 18 popular attractions across the province offering free admission for one child when they are accompanied by a paying adult or senior. Parents also save $2 on a daily parking permit at selected Ontario's provincial parks.
Learning doesn’t stop when school ends. Your kids can learn and have fun during the summer months by visiting one of Ontario’s attractions – from exploring a 200-year old shipwreck at Discovery Harbour in Penetanguishene to experiencing the world of science through interactive exhibits at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto.
Simply bring a coupon – found in the 2016 Fun Pass booklet or at Ontario.ca/funpass– to any participating attraction. It’s that easy.
Visit our website for more information about the Fun Pass program and to download the e-pass.
Information about ticks and Lyme disease
It is tick season. We have had students come to school with ticks and a few have been bit by ticks at school. We recommend that you check your child regularly to avoid bites and potential for lyme disease. If you would like more information, please contact the health unit or check out the link below:
