World Autism Awareness Day is an internationally recognized day on 2 April every year, encouraging people to raise awareness about people with autistic spectrum disorders including autism and Asperger syndrome throughout the world. Today we recognize several families in our community who have children with Autism. Sharing a post from one of our families who have two sons with Autism. "Don’t give up, because we never will! You are strong, you are smart, you are incredible a...nd you are seen. You are more." #autismawareness #autism #brampton #christianeducation #privateschool #peelregion #Peel

Exploring God's creation in our very own backyard! One of our Parents came out to teach our Students how to tap maple tress. Did you know? Maple syrup can be made from any species of maple tree. Trees that can be tapped include: sugar, black, red and silver maple and box elder trees. Of all the maples, the highest concentration of sugar is found in the sap of the sugar maple.... #brampton #mapletree #maplsyrup #springtime #christianeducation #christianschool #privateschool #regionofpeel

Hello John Knox Friends and Families, We all know how challenging most of the last year has been since COVID-19 arrived in Ontario. John Knox has made the health and safety of students our top priority, but this has meant absorbing many additional costs of safely operating in a pandemic: PPE, masks, regular deep cleaning, and health and safety training all without government support. This isn’t a public school issue; this is a public health issue. The pandemic doesn’t disc...riminate. Neither should the government’s response. This is why a coalition of independent schools in Ontario is launching the Supporting Students campaign: to address the inequities of the Ontario government’s response to COVID-19. Currently, COVID-related funding for schools is delivered through existing grant programs, such as Grants for Student Needs and direct to School Boards. Independent schools such as ours cannot access these funds. The Supporting Students campaign makes it easy for everyone to contact your local MPP and ask that every school have access to COVID funding. All you need to do is signup at the website and send a message to your local MPP and Premier Ford in a few easy steps. But to be effective, we need as many supporters to speak out as possible. Please reach out to your family, friends and colleagues and ask them to join the campaign. The Ontario government needs to understand how many families are impacted by this inequity. We all want schools to be safe from COVID. Government distribution systems must recognize and support the health and wellbeing of all students in the province, regardless of which school they attend. But nothing will change unless they hear from all of us. Now is the time for our voices to be heard. We’re hoping as many supporters as possible can send messages to their MPP during the month of November. This timing is crucial, as the provincial government is making decisions now about how the next round of federal funding will be distributed. Please take a moment this weekend to join the campaign and ask others to join you. Thank you for your ongoing support. See more

Did you know?? The red poppy, was a native plant along much of the Western Front during the First World War.
