Hey my sweet baby - I cannot believe that you are about to finish one stage in this great journey that is life. You have made us proud every step of the way and will continue to do so as you embark on this next adventure. They’ll be ups and downs, but that’s life, and as long as you embrace them with the same enthusiasm that you have shown for all the crazy adventures we’ve already been on - you’ll be great! Keep being you. Keep being kind. Always be kind.
I love you so very much.

Hi Bry,
It is hard to imagine that you are moving on up and have completed Primary School. It feels like just yesterday that you were walking Sienna to EC and then staying to join all of the fun. You are one of the sweetest, kindest, and most caring people ever. I am incredibly proud of all that you have achieved this year, and throughout your journey in Elementary. It will be great having you in the same building as your sisters and mother, even if it is only for a year. Congratulations!

Wow thank you so much. I just read what you wrote to me and I was totally amazed. I am so happy that we became friends, because after the winter break I had trouble with some friends. Thank you for helping me go through.

Brydie, do you remember our field trip to the Zoo? We also observed some funny monkeys and took lots of photos and videos. It was so much fun. I will miss you a lot.

This is one of my favorite photos. You and Alexandra look so natural and happy. Good luck in 6th grade. You will do great!

Wow, it was already a year. I want to say that you are funny, cool, nice, helpful and awesome. You are FULL of joy. I am sorry for everything what happened. I can apologize 10000000000000000 knowing that you will not forgive me for what I did with our friendship. I am shocked that with every terrible thing did you forgive me you are the BEST person I know and I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. Again I'M SORRY- thanks for being with me and being such a good friend. I will never forget you. I hope to see you again.

Hey Brydie - thank you for all the energy and enthusiasm that you have brought to our grade level each day. It has been my absolute pleasure to work with you this year and I wish you well for the future!

Brydie, thank you so much for respecting me and playing with me even though it was sometimes different from what you wanted. I enjoyed this school year with you and Mana. You were always fun to play with, and I enjoyed that time so much. If I could choose for someone to be here with me i would choose you. (Say hi to Mana for me)
Brydie, I understood this only when I started to write the reflection on PYPX. I thought that you were just a friend of mine, but now I know that you are something more than that. You are the person who was helping me. The one who came to me and asked if I were alright after a fall. The one that changed me into the person I now am. A risk-taker. A communicator. You changed the way I look at the world. The way I see it. And now I would like to say thank you for changing me into who I am and for helping me grow.

You were such an amazing friend and I really miss you. I remember you always being there for everyone when they needed help or were feeling upset. You were very caring and you were always a leader and knew what to do. I hope you enjoy Secondary!

Congratulations on completing Elementary School. Even though this isn't a 'normal' year, I am still super excited that you are 'moving up' because that means you'll be heading to the Secondary School and I can't wait to have you as a student and seeing you on a daily basis.
I have really enjoyed getting to know you... you are a true Tobin- full of love, joy, laughter, kindness, patience, compassion, generosity and gentleness. I have seen these exemplified both at school and in our homes. I have loved sharing dinners and playing games with you and your family and will be your partner anytime!
I hope you always remember that you are dearly loved and that YOU MATTER!
Have a great day celebrating you!
With love and joy,
Mr. and Mrs. Killmer (aka: Jeff and Karen)

You're finishing 5th Grade!!! Oh my gosh! You're going into middle school now! That's so exciting! Don't worry, I'll catch up to you soon! I love you so so much! I still can't believe it, it feels like just yesterday we were at HIS and stealing sticky stuff off the walls! Or going to our swim lesson on Monday at Mrs. Debbies! We have gone through so many amazing journeys together and I hope middle school can add many more to that list! Congratulations Brydie, you are no longer in Elementary school!
Love you, D

Brydie is graduating? Surely not? There must be a mistake!
Brydie you are a very special lady and have always amazed John and I. We love your happy, considerate nature and thirst for knowledge. Do you know your name originates from the Gaelic language and means a person of high rank or status and you are certainly that. Congratulations on your graduation – it seems just the other day I took you to nursery!
With lots of love Jane and John xx
Brydie, I am lucky to have you as a friend because you always find the positive and problems and you always find ways to fix everything thank you for being there.

Brydie!
Happy graduation sweet girl!
I'm so proud of you! I can't believe you have finished elementary school. Wow, time flies. When did you go from the tiny little EC2 kid who I was lucky enough to be reading buddies with to the tall, smart, confident girl you are today. You really do amaze me Bry. You are kind and caring, you try your best even when you are finding things difficult, you are persistent, and you are unafraid to try new things.
I'm so excited to see what the next year has in store for you, now that you're moving up into secondary school. It will be a challenge, but I know it will be one that you will rise to.
I love you baby girl!
Brydie, you made me know the real meaning of caring which means that I think you’ve really cared about others and you are one of the nice person I’ve ever seen.

We hope This finds you well and ready for your last few weeks. Not loving being in school, we seem to do more with our live classes to the cohort at home!!
Sigh. Hope this is ok. I wanted to have songs and dancing, but Dan wanted a more traditional spoken version....
missing your wonderful faces and thank you for the latest photos.

Congratulations Brydie on your graduation today. Quite fitting that in 2020 with social distancing you will be graduating and distancing yourself from elementary/primary school. This is because you are moving onto the next journey of your life, senior school. As you used to say as a three/four year old "I'm a big girl now" You certainly are and growing up fast.
Good luck with your new journey and who knows where it will take you.
Love always
from Jeff, Karen, Tilly, Zach and Clancy (Can Can)
I liked the fact that you were listening to many people carefully and reacting to them, and how you accept people brightly. You were spreading a happy virus!

To our dearest Bry Guy,
We love you so much and simply cannot believe that you are entering 6th grade!!!
We have so many pics of you and Devi together on our fridge, so we look at your sweet, smiling face every day. But those pics are from grades 1-4, and now you're so much bigger, stronger, and more mature! We are incredibly proud of you, and eagerly look forward to our next chance to see you and SQUEEZE you in person. We know this year has been strange and challenging for everyone, and we are therefore even more impressed with your patience, your bravery, and your positive energy.
Sending you so much love,
Uncle Shirish/Auntie April
Uncle Shirish: Congrats, sweet Bry Bry. We love you so much and are super proud of you! And thank you all a hundred times over for the incredibly sweet bday slide show, which we’ve now watched a dozen times already
Auntie April: Many years ago we met a little girl full of curiosity, smiles and wit. You were small, kind and learning all about the world. You brought us all together in a way only a kindergartener can. Years passed by and you learned, you grew, you matured and our love for one another deepened. Somehow the days slipped into months and into years and you have now finished 5th grade! You are headed into Middle school! Imagine. You are still curious, kind, witty, and full of smiles but have also grown into a mature and lovely big girl. Sixth grade will be fun and exciting and we can’t wait to hear all the ways you shake up their world. We love you so much and are so proud of you!
