John Brant Public School Monthly Newsletter

September 2024

Dear John Brant Community,

Welcome to the first week of the 2024-2025 school year at John Brant Public School! We hope you all had a wonderful summer and are ready for an exciting year ahead. Our staff and students have been eagerly preparing for this new school year, and we are thrilled to share some highlights and important information to get us off to a great start.

✨ Important Dates & Announcements in September:

  • First Day of School: Monday, September 3rd
    We welcomed our students back with open arms and big smiles! A special shoutout to our new Kindergarteners and their families—welcome to the John Brant family!

  • Jr Soccer Tournament: Tuesday Sept 17

  • Parent Council Meeting: Tuesday, September 24th at 6:00 PM

  • Rowans Law: ( Purple Shirt Day) Wednesday, September 25th. Each year the DSBN recognizes Rowan’s Law across all schools on the 4th Wednesday of September.  On September 25, Rowan’s Law Day will be observed by our school. This is a day to increase awareness about concussions and to positively promote injury prevention.   Rowan’s Law was created after Rowan Stringer, a 17-year-old student died after sustaining two concussions. Because she did not tell anyone about her injuries or share how she was feeling with her family, coaches or friends her concussions went untreated.  By observing Rowan’s Law Day each year and educating our school community about concussions, we hope to promote a culture of safety at our school. Purple was Rowan’s favourite colour, so we are asking students to wear purple to school on Wednesday, September 25 – it could be a purple shirt, socks, a ribbon – anything purple to represent Rowan
