The Knox Walk is next Friday! We're looking forward to all of our students and staff joining together for a 5km walk to Queen's Park and back.

This year we are raising money for the Play It Forward campaign, which has the primary goal of improving outdoor play and learning spaces at both campuses.

The campaign will include:
- Elementary: New Turf Field, Wildness Play Space, Modern Playground
- Secondary: Custom courtyard covering for year-round outdoor access
- Future: Strategic debt reduction to keep JKCS resilient

Stay tuned, an artistic rendering of these new spaces will be coming soon. In the meantime, here are some images of similar spaces to get our imaginations flowing.

Parents and Students, here's what you can do:
1) Create a fundraising page at www.knoxwalk.com
2) Send the fundraising page to family and friends, and tell them about the Knox Walk
