Happy New Year 2012

A New Year brings such optimism, a sigh of wonder and the thought of the many things to accomplish in the days ahead.  As the children walk to school in their rubber boots, carrying their brightly coloured umbrellas or keeping their heads dry with their hoodies while running for the bus, parents, guardians, staff and community prepare the supportive learning environment that is necessary for each student to be successful.

Whether it is the parent who drives their children to school in their pajamas to get them there on time, or the teacher who has spent hours preparing lessons, or the bus driver who safely delivers your child home from school, or the local business offering work experience opportunities to students, it takes all of us to develop life long learners.

As we all get back into the routines and focus on the work ahead, I offer a reminder as to the importance of community and look forward to the accomplishments we can achieve together on behalf of all our students in the year 2012.
