Our FDK students were enjoying the sunny weather on Friday!

We had a very successful Track and Field Day! We are so proud of the students' effort, perseverance, and energy that they displayed throughout all of the events. Thank you to Ms. Clarke and Ms. LeFaive for organizing. 🏃

The students in Ms. Mayea's class were enjoying the math scavenger hunt today. Thank you, Ms. Clarke for your weekly work to create them. 🧮 ✏️

Have we gone back in time at SJM? Thank you to everyone who showed their school spirit for Retro Day today!

A reminder that tomorrow, May 14th at 4:30 in the Learning Commons, is our next parent council meeting. We will be making finals plans for the BBQ and upcoming book fair and would love some extra help to plan, organize and run both of these events. Everyone is encouraged and welcome to attend. Hope to see you there.

There will be freezies for sale during the track and field meet on Wednesday. Cash only please. Beginning next week, freezies will be for sale on Tuesdays and Thursdays using a freezie card (similar to a milk or popcorn card) which will be available for purchase on School Cash Online shortly.

A special thank you to our LKDSB Camp Leaders for sharing their high school tips and tricks with our grade 7/8 students today. It helped to relieve some anxiety and helped to set them up for success!

Retro Day! 🪩 🕺

Such a fun day of celebrating all of the amazing women in our student's lives in Mme Mezz's classroom on Friday during their afternoon tea party. Thank you to everyone that came! 🌼 🫖

🌮🥣 Healthy & Delicious in the Classroom! 🥗✨ Madame Brydges and Mr. Findlay’s class put their creativity and nutrition knowledge to the test! Using the generous donation from the President's Choice Power Full Kids Charity, students prepared a delicious and protein-packed meal of walking tacos (taco salad in a bag or bowl) and Greek yogurt dessert bowls. 😋 This tasty creation was the winning idea from their health project, where students reimagined their favourite meals to make them healthier and higher in protein. What a fun and delicious way to learn about nutrition! 👏 Huge kudos to the students for their teamwork and to President's Choice for making this hands-on learning possible!

Congratulations to this month's character/ learning skills award winners and to this month's colour house ambassadors! Thank you for being such great citizens and for showing amazing school spirit. Go Knights!

We have had a great 2 days of fishing with students from SJM, Hanna, Lansdowne, High Park and GLSS. This opportunity was made available from the Niigaan Gdizhaami Grant and our partnership with Aamjiwnaang, which we are so grateful for. Many of the students were able to experience fishing for the first time, were able to learn from Jesse and Rocky, and they enjoyed a delicious fish and chip lunch. 🐟 🎣

Let's support the Leafs this Friday!

Show your school spirit tomorrow!

We are so grateful for our school nutrition program! Today, all students enjoyed a delicious nutritious burrito bowl lunch from Barburrito filled with rice, beans, meat, cheese and veggies.

The students in Mme Stewart and Mme Coates class are developing an interest in 'l’espace extra-atmosphérique' through inquiry-based learning and creative play. They use vocabulary such as 'planète', 'étoile', and 'astronaute' while exploring concepts related to the solar system. This curiosity supports their understanding of the world around them and encourages them to pose 'des questions' and share 'leurs idées' with peers.

🔧🌉 Future Engineers at Work! 🌉🔧 Students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 have been exploring the Engineering Design Process as part of their Science and Technology learning! Tied to the Ontario Curriculum’s focus on Forces Acting on Structures and Mechanisms, students investigated how forces, stability, and materials affect the strength of structures. Working collaboratively in teams, they applied their knowledge to plan, design, and build model bridges—putting scientific concepts into action through hands-on learning. 🧠💡 Next week, the excitement continues as students test their bridges, analyze the results, and make improvements—just like real engineers! Stay tuned for updates on their innovative designs and discoveries! 🚀
