Mitten Tree and Markham Food Bank Donations

Each year in December, JRPS collects new, unused hats and mittens as well as non-perishable food items and toiletry items throughout the month. 

Students decorate the foyer Christmas Tree with hats and mittens and place the food/toiletry items in the boxes under the tree. 

All donated items will be given to the Markham Food Bank on Dec. 20.

Please help out the cause if you can!

Throwing Snow

Happy Wednesday to our Raven Families,
It has been brought to our attention that students are participating in snow ball fights after school on the school property.  Historically, we have a 'safe' throwing area at school near the baseball diamond during recesses that is supervised by a staff member...this will start up soon.  We are sending our students mixed messages if it is okay to throw snow 'anywhere' at certain times of day and not okay at others.  Please support our students to be safe at school by reiterating our message of no throwing snow.  This sends a clear message that is consistent and helps us keep all of our children safe.
Thank you!!
JRPS Staff

** Please label your child's clothing, including shoes ** We search each item thoroughly in order to return them to their rightful owner. the images below are the unlabelled items that have been misplaced.
