Halifax Public Library Summer Reading Program - Share in Family Newsletters:
The TD Summer Reading Club at Halifax Public Libraries is a free program that encourages kids to read over their summer break from school. The program is open to kids of all ages, interests, and abilities. It gives kids an opportunity to learn and grow with each story. Kids set their own points goal, track their activities, and report back at the Library to earn prizes throughout the summer. Reading over the summer helps kids stay fresh for back to school in September. To learn more, check out our website and watch our fun SRC promotional video!

From Ms. Jackson:
All library books are due TOMORROW!

2020-21 Yearbooks:
Yearbooks will be distributed tomorrow, Friday, during last period! There are 9 yearbooks remaining to be sold. If you bring in $25, one of those 9 could be yours!

Acknowledging Mr. Jeff Lewis’s career and retirement:
You are invited to contribute to a gift to honour and appreciate Mr. Lewis’ contribution and dedication to education. Mr. Lewis retired on May 1. Please drop off donations to the school (cheques made out to Ellenvale Junior High School). We will add your name to the card. We are hoping to gift him a memorable getaway to Trout Point Lodge (https://www.troutpoint.com/)

Planning for 2021-22 School Year:
