Message from the Administration As we arrive at the end of our 2017-2018 school year, we are so thankful to God as we celebrate our École Bishop Savaryn community of GREAT learning, faith, peace and joy!     We pray God’s blessings on an incredible group of student LEADERS moving onto junior high. We are so proud of the strong LEADER examples they are for our younger students and the ways they generously shared their gifts with us while at Bishop Savaryn. They will be so missed! As each child from 100 Voices — Grade 6 prepares to move into a new phase of their learning, we celebrate together their great efforts this year to do their personal best. We are looking forward to the growth all will gain over the summer in body, mind, and spirit as we spend more time in nature with family and friends.

We extend best wishes to staff members who will be not be returning to our school community in the fall: Mrs. Heather Magee, Ms. Trista Lefave, Mrs. Karen Butt, and Ms. Angela Chung. I look forward to my “rewire-ment” – after a wonderful teaching career which spanned four decades! I am so thankful to finish off at École Bishop Savaryn School for the past 4 years — I will continue to thank God every time I think of all of you! Please note that your child’s Grade 1-6 TERM 3 Year-End Report Card will be posted online through PowerSchool at noon on Thursday, June 28th, our last day of classes. You can access it with your PowerSchool Parent Login and Password which you have been given earlier in the year. It will be posted for TWO WEEKS only. If you wish to have a hard copy of their report card, we trust that you have submitted a request to the office or to the teacher via the agenda. Check our website for additional NEWSLETTER information and supply lists.

May your days be filled with adventures and lots of rest and relaxation during this precious time spent together with loved ones.   Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing everyone back in the fall!

Children LOVE to learn here at École Bishop Savaryn!
