That's a Wrap!!
Thank You for an Incredible Year!
As we wrap up another fantastic school year, we want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your unwavering commitment to our students, your colleagues, and our entire school community.
This year, you have truly lived our PACK values—Persistence, Accountability, Community, and Kindness. Through your daily actions, you have been role models of these values for our students, showing them what it means to care deeply, work hard, and support one another.
We are especially grateful to:
Lisa for making Sports Day extra fun, creative, and memorable.
The Grade 6 teachers for organizing a beautiful leaving ceremony filled with heartfelt words for every student, and for planning the amazing Grade 6 Playland trip—a joyful send-off!
Sue, for being five people in one: taking on every behind-the-scenes job, solving every problem, and keeping the school running with grace and grit.
Sue H for all of her time, energy, and care in supporting the library—it continues to be such a welcoming place for students because of you.
All the primary teachers who made the Skate and Scoot a highlight—so many happy faces!
Emily, who planned and pulled off not one, but two fantastic concerts, and the primary team for helping make theirs a success.
To the Learning Services and EA team, thank you for helping everything run as smoothly as possible each day. Your support for students and teachers alike is essential and invaluable.
Our incredible custodial team, who have kept the building sparkling and safe every day—your work does not go unnoticed!
Everyone who took part in the class placement discussions—your collaboration and insight made for thoughtful and constructive decisions for next year’s learners.
To the PBIS team, for stepping up and putting in the work to make our school a stronger, more connected community—your efforts will make a real difference.
And to each of you who welcomed Nina and me so warmly this year—thank you for your kindness, support, and sense of community.
If we missed mentioning you by name, please know that your work matters deeply, and we are truly grateful for everything you have contributed this year. This school thrives because of the heart and dedication each of you brings.
Wishing you all a restful and joyful summer—you deserve it!
With deep appreciation,
K-M & Nina
