Dear Joyceville Community,
🌟 Terry Fox Run Success! 🌟
We had a fantastic Terry Fox Run this week! Students and staff gave it their all and came together to continue Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope.
Our school has already raised over $4,600—far surpassing our original goal of $1,000. Way to go, everyone! 🎉
A huge thank you goes out to all who have donated. If you would still like to contribute (or add to your donation), you can do so until the end of the day Sunday. We’ll be announcing which class raised the most money on Monday morning.
🌽 Thank You for a Wonderful Corn Roast & Open House! 🌽
A heartfelt thank you to our School Advisory Council and our dedicated staff for organizing such a fantastic Corn Roast and Open House. The evening was filled with great food, warm conversations, and a true sense of community.
We are especially grateful to Forman Farms for generously donating the corn and to Bingo for their support in helping organize the event. Your contributions made the evening extra special!
Events like this remind us of the power of strong relationships between the school and the community. When we come together, we create not only memorable experiences but also the foundation for a supportive and thriving environment for our students.
🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day – September 30 🧡
As we approach Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, we are reminded of our responsibility to learn intentionally about the history and legacy of Residential Schools, and the impact they continue to have today.
This day calls us to honour the children who never returned home, to support Survivors and their families, and to reflect on the ongoing journey of reconciliation. It is also a time to commit to building understanding, respect, and meaningful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in our classrooms and communities.
Together, through learning and action, we can ensure that Every Child Matters.
🥪 Hot Lunch Program is Back! 🍎
We’re excited to share that our Hot Lunch Program, run through Lunchbox, is now live! Families can browse the menu, place orders, and enjoy the convenience of fresh, tasty meals delivered right to the school.
This program is a wonderful way to make lunches easier while also supporting our school community. We encourage families to check it out and take advantage of this service.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mr. Morency
