I hope everyone had a great March Break. What a wonderful week to return; the weather is outstanding!
This week one of our mom's who has a son with special needs sent along this link that I thought I'd share with you as it is a good reminder of showing empathy ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/maria-lin/special-needs-parenting_b_1314348.html). I'd also like to remind you that Monday is Purple Day (http://www.purpleday.org/)to help raise awareness to Epilepsy.
Finally, as many of you know TDSB is facing a challenging time. Although we are facing some tough times ahead, especially over the next few weeks, I want you to know that your children are first priority to our staff and we will continue to provide an excellent education. There are many opportunities that come from overcoming obstacles; especially when we work together.
If you wish to learn more about these issues, I encourage you to attend Trustee Gough's Ward meeting on March 29th at Karen Kain School of the Arts at 7:00 p.m. ( 60 Berl Avenue).
