Fall Fest Tomorrow!

Tomorrow we will be having our annual Fall Fest! This year it will be hosted by Earth Day Canada as part of our Outdoor Play and Learning (OPaL) initiative.

Thank you to all families who have donated to our fundraiser for this event! Money raised supports many program enhancements for the students at our school, including technology, reading programs, field trip subsidies, athletic jerseys, etc.

If you still wish to make a donation, log onto SchoolCashOnline and click the donation button on your home screen. If you you have more than one child at JRPS, please add their names in the donation comments so we can assign raffle tickets in their names.

Monday, October, 30th ~ Wear Purple for Rett Syndrome

On Sunday October 29th many iconic Canadian landmarks such as the CN tower will be lit up purple in support of Rett Syndrome awareness day. Rett syndrome affects 1 in every 10 000 people and almost always affects females. Girls with Rett syndrome have trouble controlling their bodies but can understand everything around them. They love to play games and have fun with their friends! Students can wear purple on Monday October 30th to school in support of national Rett syndrome awareness day and friends in the community class.
