Hello JGES Families,
    I hope this message finds you well.  I want to take a moment to reflect on the past month's achievements and highlight some important reminders for the upcoming weeks.
    Firstly, I want to extend my gratitude to all the staff members who contributed to the success of our February assembly celebrating African Heritage Month. A special thank you goes to Mrs. Ewing and the Grade 6 leadership team for their dedicated efforts in organizing this meaningful event. Dr Bishop worked with all our students, and attended our assembly.  He spoke positively about our students’ zest for learning and the supportive school environment. It is truly inspiring to witness our students' genuine interest in learning and the respectful way they treat one another.
     As we move forward into March, I want to remind everyone about the importance of car safety around the school premises. Please refrain from pulling up to pick up or drop off students directly in front of the school entrance. Instead, kindly utilize parking areas on the road and avoid turning around in our driveway. These simple precautions are vital to ensuring the safety of all our students.
    Lastly, I want to express our deep appreciation to Mrs. Martin, our amazing Resource teacher, who is retiring after 29 years of dedicated service. Mrs. Martin has made a significant impact on the lives of countless students, both past and present, and her legacy will be cherished for years to come. We wish her all the best in her well-deserved retirement. In Mrs. Martin's absence, Mrs. Hickman will be taking over for the remainder of the year, and we are confident in her ability to continue providing exceptional support to our students.
