Good Afternoon,
Summer Vacation is just around the corner. Students and staff have been busy getting all the loose ends tied up for the year. As we near the end of the year let’s take some time to think about the challenges that we all faced but I also want us to focus on how resilient our school community was in dealing with the pandemic. Our students were amazing in how they approached the new learning model with their cohorts and wearing masks to help protect themselves and those around them. They faced their fears and created a positive environment even though some days were more difficult than others. I am hopeful that with the message from the Minister of Education that next year we will be closer to normal and we can return to having everyone back in our building for all the wonderful learning that we do.
Have an incredible weekend!
