What an amazing start to the year at SJM! Our first Colour House Assembly was filled with energy, teamwork, and school spirit from start to finish. Students cheered, participated, and showed exactly what makes our community so special. We can’t wait to see this spirit grow all year long.

Meet Our Nursing Students! Hello SJM families! We’re excited to welcome a group of third‑year Bachelor of Science in Nursing students from Lambton College who are completing their community health clinical placement with us every Tuesday from September through December. Alongside their Clinical Instructor, Renee Monteyne, RN, BScN, the team includes Julia Morely, Sydney Taylor, Lisa Deburger, Alyssa Williams, Sam Wigchert, Madi Wootton, and Tramy Duong. They are eager to become part of the Sir John Moore community, get to know our students and staff, and learn more about school health, health promotion, and overall well‑being within a school setting. We look forward to a wonderful fall together.

Today, our school community honours National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Many students wore orange both yesterday and today to show that they remember and honour those impacted by residential schools, and to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to reconciliation. We remain dedicated to learning, listening, and growing together.

🚌 🚌 📢 📢 Busses are cancelled this morning due to fog but will run this afternoon. Travel safe!

Today’s first fire drill of the year went smoothly. Students followed directions, moved efficiently, and arrived at their meeting locations with their teachers in a calm and orderly manner. Great job SJM! As part of our shared commitment to safety, we encourage families to check their home fire alarms to ensure they are functioning properly and that you have a designated meeting spot.

Today, Ms. Leanne guided students through a beautiful lesson on the Three Sisters—corn, beans, and squash—and the teachings connected to them. Students practiced beading, creating a repeating pattern of three beads and one corn bead (bezhig mandaamin) to represent this important relationship. A meaningful blend of culture, creativity, and learning.

2026/2027 SJM Terry Fox run on October 7. Please help us reach our goal of $1000!

Happy Franco‑Ontarian Day! At Sir John Moore, we’re proud to offer both French Immersion and Core French, giving our students the opportunity to learn, grow, and celebrate the rich Francophone culture that is part of our community. Today we honour the language, traditions, and vibrant heritage of Franco‑Ontarians. 💚🤍 Merci to our staff and students for keeping French learning strong at SJM!

Today we kicked off our first assembly of the year with an inspiring start to our Terry Fox Run. A huge thank you to our Student Leadership Team for running the assembly with confidence and heart. Let’s make this year a huge success as we carry on Terry’s legacy of courage and determination.

Grade 5 students engaged in an important learning experience today with Ms. Leanne and Ashley, focusing on Truth and Reconciliation. Students learned beading techniques and created orange shirt pins to honour the message that every child matters. We are grateful for this meaningful opportunity.

Say hello to our newest Knights! These leaders are ready to hype up their colour houses, build team spirit, and make this year unforgettable. Let the friendly competition begin. Go Knights Go!
