JR Henderson Weekly Update #40 - June 25th, 2026
Good afternoon Henderson Families,
That's a wrap! What a wonderful year of learning and growth. We are beyond grateful for this outstanding community. Together with your partnership, we have seen outstanding progress, kindness and spirit. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Pizza Extravaganza!
We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to the Hoskara family who donated a whopping 560 pieces of pizza on Thursday. Any families who noted to avoid pizza were offered a cold treat. What a way to celebrate this amazing year!
Congratulations to our 6s and 8s!
On Monday and Tuesday this week, we celebrated our Grade 8 Graduates and Grade 6s who are moving on to Acadie.
