Celebrate & Applaud Campaign 2010 On May 27, 2010, St. John’s-Kilmarnock School announced the formal opening of its new building expansion. The dedicated music centre will be enjoyed as a place of music learning for students of all grades. The new Music Room includes an eleven station midi lab, integrating technology and music instruction and an acoustically sound space for instrumental and choral music. St. John’s-Kilmarnock School recognizes those special donors who made it possible for the expansion of the new Music Room and Classroom Enhancement. We stand up and applaud you!

SJK’s most renewable energy source Across the globe nations, industries, and citizens are finding ways to propel the green movement. Great institutions are leading the charge to innovate the way we source and spend energy. While consumption can always be curbed, the larger challenge exists on finding new, renewable energy sources that can scale to meet demand. As SJK looks to prepare for the next generation of students I propose that we look at our energy in a slightly different light. Instead of looking at it in kilowatts and emissions, we must look to engage the time, talent, and treasure of our community – a commitment that is at the core of our success. Undoubtedly, a great deal will come from the time and talent of our world-class faculty and staff who continually set a high bar of excellence on campus throughout student life – a level of excellence our students and alumni are all the better for. A large portion still will be sourced from our parent community who seek the very best for their children and have invested immeasurably in the vision of SJK. Let us take a moment to thank the dedication of our faculty and staff and vision of our parents – past and present. The hard truth, however, is that these two groups are not enough. For SJK to truly hurdle to meet the goals set out in the school’s strategic plan we must continue to engage with our vibrant and diverse alumni body who are leading in their communities near and far. Our alumni body is a growing group who continue to stay involved in our university dinner programs, alumni pub nights, school events (e.g., Science Fair), and stay connected through online social networks. As we look to plan the next chapter in our alumni’s future we must look to connect alumni to each other, and not just to the school, so that our community can continue to build an exponentially tighter web of connections. These connections will come in the form of social connections, academic connections, commercial connections, and community connections. It is through these connections that we can continue to derive value from our association with the school in turn do our part to reciprocate through the gift of our time, talent and treasure to give back to each other and the school. The school’s 40th Anniversary is on the horizon and a fantastic rallying point to continue to ‘stir the flame’ and provide the school with a deep source of renewable energy. Please do stay in touch and help us keep connected! David J. Singh (Class of ’03) SJK Alumni Association President dsingh@sjkschool.org
