St. John Paul II School

📚Back-to-School Supply list 📚

As we prepare for another exciting school year at St. John Paul II School, here is a list of supplies your child may need to start the year off prepared and ready to learn.

Please note, these supplies are not mandatory, they are simply suggested items that may be helpful for your child in the classroom.

We can't wait to welcome our students back on Tuesday, September 1st for another year of learning, growth, and fun!

💙See you soon, SJP families!

🌟🌸That’s a wrap on Summer Learning! Students built their math and literacy skills while also having opportunities for hands-on learning and making new connections with students from other schools.🌸🌟

Thank you to OYAP (Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program) for supporting our cupcake decorating and woodworking activities, where students sanded, hammered, and built their own projects.

🐕‍🦺A special thank you to the volunteers from Therapeutic Paws of Canada for making it possible for every student to participate in the Paws to Read program. Students also created calming jars while learning about mindfulness and self-regulation.

🌻Our summer learning program has a great time in the kitchen making strawberry rhubarb tarts!🥧

Our french and primary students practiced valuable baking skills like measuring ingredients, safely cutting fruit, and the value of patience as they waited for their creations to bake. A big thank you to Mrs Favreau for sharing her baking expertise and guiding everyone through the process. 🌟

We can’t wait to show you what our junior group will be cooking up later this week!

🎨💙 Leaving Their Mark at St. John Paul II School 💙🎨

As our Grade 6 students prepare to take their next exciting step to high school, they have left behind a colourful reminder of the memories, friendships, and experiences that shaped their time at St. John Paul II School.

Each student designed and painted a personalized legacy board, showcasing their unique personality, interests, and favourite memories. Together, these one-of-a-kind creations now line the school fence, creating a vibrant display that will inspire future students for years to come.

This special legacy project is more than just artwork, it's a celebration of growth, creativity, and the lasting impact our students leave on our school community.

Congratulations, Grade 6s! We are so proud of everything you've accomplished and can't wait to see all you'll achieve in the years ahead. ❤️💛
