Dear families,

I would like to thank our students and staff for supporting mental health initiatives with Bell Let’s Talk Day. It was great to see our students talking about how to take care of themselves and others. Please visit the Jean Steckle Twitter account @jstwrdsb to see the great work from our students.

Please remember that there is a PA Day on Friday, January 27. The school will be closed for students as staff work on assessment and evaluation tasks.

Thank you again for a great week!

Andrea Michelutti – principal
