Every JM classroom is a torch that passes hand to hand. This year we add our light to that torch. Welcome back, JM students— the flame is yours now.

On Monday, June 29, 2026, the Grade 9 students embarked on their final trip to Batroun as members of the Intermediate Division. Surrounded by the refreshing sea breeze, the charm of the historic souks, delicious lemonade, and wonderful company, they enjoyed a truly unforgettable day.

As our Grade 9 students prepare to begin their next and final chapter of school life, we wish them every success and happiness.

Marco Bou Chahla, a Grade 9 student, achieved outstanding success by winning Silver and securing 2^nd place at the 2026 Lebanese Youth MMA Championship. With this remarkable accomplishment, he has qualified to represent Lebanon at the World Championships.

We are incredibly proud of Marco’s dedication and achievement, and we wish him continued excellence and success on the international stage! 👏🥈

On Friday, June 19, 2026, by divine grace and the imposition of the hands of the Archbishop of Antelias, His Excellency Antoine Bou Najem, our colleagues Johnny Mouawad and Charbel Baaklini (along with two other deacons) were ordained to the priesthood.

Family members, friends, parishioners, and colleagues gathered to witness how God calls young men to follow Him and serve His people, sustained by His guiding hand.

In the first half of June, Grade 7 students set out on an exciting journey to Souk Zouk, where they explored a vibrant setting filled with local crafts, traditional foods, and rich cultural experiences. The trip provided students with a valuable opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-life discoveries as they observed artisans at work—such as weaving on traditional looms and crafting Tartoor and Labbadeh—interacted with vendors, and gained insight into the history and cultural significance of the souk.

Congratulations to our Grade 8 student, Nour Khater, on her outstanding achievement!

Nour was awarded Best Scorer at The Best Sport Tournament 2026, held on Sunday, June 8, after an impressive performance in which she scored 12 goals for her team.

We are incredibly proud of you, Nour—keep shining and reaching new heights!

During February 2026, the Intermediate and Secondary JM Youth Clubs held a joint session with Sister Helen Mary (RJM) on the heroic journey of Saint Claudine. The students showed great interest and participated actively throughout the session.
May they continue to grow and become true ambassadors of our JM legacy.

On June 9, 2026, Grade 8 students enjoyed an inspiring and enriching field trip to “Nature” by Marc Beyrouthy in Antelias and the Maronite Patriarchal Seminary in Ghazir.

Students participated in hands-on workshops, including planting, composting, and exploring the fascinating world of insects. They also had the opportunity to learn about a significant center of Maronite heritage, deepening their cultural and historical understanding.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, our Grade 7 and 8 students came together for an honest conversation about how they feel.

Guided by Ms. May Eid (Social Worker) and Ms. Melissa Bou Antoun (Psychologist) from our Guidance and Counseling Department, students were reminded that asking for help is a sign of strength, and that no one should navigate hard moments alone.

At JM, mental health is not a monthly conversation — it is a daily commitment. Reach out. Check in. Be there for each other.
