Dear CJM Families & Friends,
Wow! It is hard to believe that the 2020-21 school year is over. We want to thank you all for the support and patience shown these past 10 months. We had successes and some challenges, yet despite all, we continued the work that has to be done to ensure the safety and educational needs of all our students. There are countless people to whom we owe an expression of gratitude and hope that we continue working together in the coming years. An expression of special thanks goes to our School Council, who were supportive and continue to find time to do their best for CJM. Your presence and support make a much stronger working community supporting to achieve the school's goals and ensuring our students are our top priority.
We would like to thank our hard working and caring staff who have made a huge difference to our students. Their commitment is outstanding and our kids are the beneficiaries. Thank you for providing rich and engaging, well-rounded experiences for our kids and knowing that education is about wonder and fostering curiosity, along with development of social skills so needed to succeed. For these, and a thousand other things, we are truly grateful.
We have been so fortunate to have so many amazing staff at CJM this year. It is with a heavy heart that we say farewell...for now…to Ms. Sarah Chan, Ms. Liisha Hinder, Ms. Regan Crawford-Sera, Ms. Taylor Hubbs, Ms. Cathy Li, Ms. Kathy Kerr, Ms. Kaitlin Barr and Mr. Jared Peralta. We would also like to welcome Ms. Mandi Jones, Ms. Caitin Campbell, Mr. Chris Walcot, Mr. Colin Stack and Ms. Jessica Skall to CJM!
We look forward to seeing you on September 1, 2021. To those of who are leaving us for new places we wish you all the best!!

In closing, we would like take this opportunity to congratulate all students at CJM School! We wish you all a very happy, safe and enjoyable summer. Please be sure to take time as family to talk, play and READ together.
"I think that reconciliation begins with self. There is reconciling at different levels of our being, and it's not only until we connect with ourselves at those levels—whether it's emotionally, spiritually, physically or intellectually—that we can also move into other spaces of reconciliation." -Jackie Ottmann
Have a beautiful summer!
Sincerely,
Ms. Bains, Principal & Ms. Harder, Assistant Principal
