Let’s make this a memorable day for our students and our school community!
We were thrilled to welcome the very talented artist, John Williams to our school this week! John spent time speaking with some of our students, sharing the inspiration, process, and meaning behind the beautiful mural in our front foyer.
He then worked alongside our Grade 5/6 Ojibwe class with Mrs. McGee to design snow snakes using Ojibwe Woodland design, encouraging creativity and thoughtful design every step of the way. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn from a talented artist and see art come to life in our school! 🎨❄️
A reminder that today, January 30th, is a PD Day. Enjoy your long weekend!
A huge welcome and thank‑you to all the families who joined us for our Kinderstart registration session tonight!

We’re back again tomorrow from 9–3, and we welcome all children born in 2022 to come register, explore, play, and get a feel for our vibrant learning environment. As a trilingual school, we’re proud to offer French Immersion, Ojibwe, and English programming—creating a space where language, culture, and community grow together. We can’t wait to meet more of you tomorrow!

✨ What a Night! ✨
Our Family Movie Night was such a wonderful success, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible volunteers who stepped up to make it happen.
To everyone who helped set up, popped popcorn, served snacks, welcomed families, cleaned up, or supported behind the scenes — thank you. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm created a fun, welcoming space for our community to come together and make memories.
Until the next one — thank you again for making the night truly special! 🎬💛
🍿 What an amazing Family Movie Night! 🎬
Thank you to everyone who came out for our screening of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Even though we had a few sound hiccups at the beginning, our families showed patience, good humor, and plenty of excitement — and the night only got better from there.
The gym was filled with cozy blankets, PJs, pillows, and lawn chairs, plus the delicious smell of popcorn and drinks in hand. It was wonderful seeing everyone settle in and enjoy a fun, relaxed evening together.
⭐ Fun was had by all — thanks for making it such a memorable night! ⭐
❄️✨ The kindergarten students in Ms. Lahey/Ms. Parson's and Ms. Blakenship’s classes decided it was time to bring a little colour to all this winter white! With so much snow already this season, we took our learning outdoors — painting the snow with bright colours and practicing our letters in the fresh powder.
Play-based learning like this helps build early literacy skills, creativity, and confidence.
What a beautiful way to brighten up a snowy day! 🌈❄️
Mrs. Moran’s Grade 5/6 class was busy building circuits and learning all about conductors and insulators! ⚡️ Students tested a variety of materials, made predictions, and observed which allowed electricity to flow and which did not. Hands-on learning at its best!
Cold weather didn’t stop the fun at SJM! ❄️ During indoor recess, our students got creative and made the most of their time inside—playing ping pong, crocheting, building fidget spinners, and even dancing! It’s wonderful to see their imagination, teamwork, and positive energy shining, even when the weather keeps us indoors. 😊
Mme Brydges and Mr Findlay’s grade 6/7FI class was fortunate to learn how to create healthy breakfast choices. They collaborated together to make breakfast burritos! A big thank you to OSNP and President’s Choice along with the You’re the Chef program through Lambton Public Health for making this possible!
🚌🚌Busses is Zones 1, 3, and 4 are cancelled today. This includes busses to Sir John Moore. Stay safe everyone.🚌🚌
Due to inclement weather across the district, ALL Lambton Kent District School Board schools will be closed for Thursday, January 15, 2026. Please stay safe.
🌟 A Big Thank You to Mrs. Griffiths!🌟
Today our Grade 8 English-stream students had a fantastic visit from Mrs. Griffiths, Guidance Counsellor at Great Lakes Secondary School. She spent time walking them through what to expect in high school next year, including course options, timetables, available supports, school life, and the many ways to get involved.
Our students especially enjoyed learning about the different clubs and activities they can join as they take this exciting next step.
Thank you, Mrs. Griffiths, for helping our future Grade 9s feel informed, confident, and excited about what’s ahead! 🎓✨
Boler Part 2! ⛷️
