It is with very heavy hearts that the Saginaw community mourns the loss of Jean Knetsch.

Jean Knetsch taught at Saginaw for 11 years, sharing her passion for the French Language with countless students, most recently as a French Immersion teacher and earlier as a Core French teacher. She will be greatly missed.

In honour of Jean, the flags at the school and the Waterloo Region District School Board Education Centre will be flown at half mast this week.

Our thoughts are with the Knetsch family at this time.
