SJAM Weekly Newsletter

Week At A Glance:  June 22, 2026

Dear Mustang Families,

Please forward this message to your child’s email. 

This will be our final weekly message to families for the 2025–26 school year. While our Grade 9 families may choose to join us on Thursday evening for the farewell, we wanted to take this opportunity in our final message to extend our sincere gratitude for your ongoing support throughout the year. 

The Administration would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our hard-working faculty. Your unwavering commitment to our students’ success, and your ability to adapt and thrive, have made a profound impact. We offer one of the best extra-curricular programs in the CBE due to your dedication and voluntary contributions, which is the cornerstone of our vibrant Mustang learning environment. 

To our parents and guardians: thank-you for your ongoing support and partnership. You know your child best, and your insight, care, and advocacy are invaluable. Your involvement in your child’s learning, and your collaboration with our school community, help create the conditions for them to truly flourish.  We deeply value, need, and appreciate your partnership. 

To our students: you are the heart of our school. Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and resilience inspire us each and every day. As you head into your summer adventures, we encourage you to continue focusing on your well-being, exploring, learning, and growing while embracing every experience as an opportunity to discover something new.  Remember, when something feels challenging, it simply means you are still learning. Lean into those moments, push through the discomfort, and trust that this is where true growth and lifelong resilience are built.
