As the school year comes to a close, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who volunteer at the school. Your support is appreciated on so many levels. Your commitment truly makes a positive impact on the students' well-being, and I cannot thank you enough for your care.

I'd also like to thank all the members of our Parent Council, including those who headed up our committees this year: Rebecca Saha, Kim DeLonghi, Natascha Barrett, Milena Forte, Jill Tyndall, Jane Taylor, Joan Dawson, Jody Greifenberger, Allison Brady, Margarita Teiti, Freya Painting and Nancy Pitts. I thank you for your leadership and thoughtfulness.

Our monthly Parent Council meetings would not have happened if it weren't for the following Executive members: Nicole Wengle, Kristi Karens, Corry Haslam and Karen Miller. I know that you spend many hours a month helping support the community, so on behalf of our staff, students and parents, I thank you.

I am looking forward to seeing many of you over the next couple of weeks, either at our concerts or Grade 8 Graduation. Hopefully, our air conditioning is up and running at the beginning of the week!

Have a great weekend.
