Community Link Award Winner

Congratulations to everyone who was nominated for the QMS Community Link Award for the 2020–2021 school year. Each nominee has helped to enrich our community through their volunteerism and support. We appreciate you!

This year, the winner of the Community Link Award is none other, than Jennifer Pelton.

Jennifer is a past parent of QMS who has dedicated her spare time to being an integral member of our Board of Governors. She is currently our Chair of Governance and the past Chair of Nominations.

Throughout her time at QMS, Jennifer has freely given her time to volunteer on our Parents' Association as Vice-Chair, Secretary and Class Rep; on various Gala Committees; and spent hours helping at our annual Christmas Bazaar.

Jennifer, your love and tremendous support of our School has made us an even better place to be and aided in our students' successes. Thank you.

The SJS Summer to Discover campers are adventuring again this week! ._johns_school loves to take advantage of the beautiful Kitsilano neighbourhood and its surrounding areas. The stunning beaches, the luscious rainforests, the cultured boulevards. 🏕

This week, the younger campers went on a hike through Pacific Spirit Park to explore its lush rainforest trails.
