Dear Families,

We had another great week at Jean Steckle Public School. Our Grade 8 students won many ribbons at the area track and field meet, our Grade 6 students completed the EQAO assessment, our Kindergarten students went to the zoo, and our Grade 2 students went to the Ground Water Festival.

Thank you to our students and families who wore their Raptor’s wear or red and black on Thursday to support the Toronto Raptors.

Andrea Michelutti, Principal
