Spring has finally sprung! There is no surer sign that the seasons have changed than the beginning of eight weeks of training for our annual Reconciliation Run Walk Wheel taking place in all SD8 schools in June.

This past month has been a flurry of physical, intellectual, social and emotional learning in our six families of schools as students engaged in activities that stretched their skills, and exercised their understanding, leading us toward our upcoming spring break from March 18 to April 1.

Greetings everyone,

We are nearing the 100th day of school and in primary grades, this is an important day of learning! All of our students are about halfway through the year, many have begun second semester, and everyone is in full learning mode in their classrooms, outdoors and in their communities.

This year, JVH held our fundraiser December 4th through 15th outside the Front Street Market. We had great participation from our students, staff, families and community.

In 2022, the community generously donated over $3600. This year looks like a great year as well - watch for a final count of this year's fundraising to be announced in the new year!

Midwinter is upon us - a time when SD8 students and educators look forward to sharing and showing what children have learned and the talents they have developed in the first half of the school year.

Dear JVH Students and Families,

This month, I want to share my gratitude for some unexpected gifts we have received in our district and in our schools through the month of October.
