#Humboldt Strong

Posted April 9, 2018

The SJAM community is deeply saddened by the tragic news of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.  Our hearts go out to the Humboldt community and everyone impacted by this terrible tragedy.

In response to this terrible event, the students at SJAM would like to join in the ‘Wear a Jersey Day’ on April 12th.  We will also participate in a moment of silence on that day to honour the young lives lost. The school’s flag will be lowered to half-mast throughout this week (April 9-13) as our nation mourns the lives that were lost. More information will be available on our social media feeds.

Tragedy touches us all differently.  If any SJAM student feels the need to reach out for help, please know that our Guidance staff are always there for our students, and can help connect with more WRDSB and community supports if needed.
