Be Like Jean Vanier - From our school spirit team
I am gentle.
I think, speak and act with gentleness.
I show care for people and for everything I touch.
Leadership Message
"So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God". Ephesians 3:17-19
As the school year comes to a conclusion, staff, parents, and students are spending time reflecting on the year and all the growth that has happened along the journey. This past week, as we have walked the halls, visited classrooms, met with parents and teachers, and been invited to celebrate milestones, we can truly see the abundant change and growth in each of our students. Listening to students speak with pride about where they were and how far they have come is truly a testament to their own gifts, talents, and skills developing, but also their resiliency and perseverance as they worked through challenges and bumps. Education comes from the Latin word, "Educare"-to draw out that which lies within. As teachers prepare to say farewell to this year's flock, we are grateful for every person along the journey this year that helped "draw out" the gifts, strengths, and beauty inside each of our children. May they continue to celebrate all they are and all they have become. Way to GROW...

Thank-you
We feel that it was a great success and we truly enjoyed working with each and everyone of you!
We have enjoyed our time as coordinators but it's time we step back and let other parents enjoy the experience of volunteering.
Volunteering has been a joy to both of us and we got to meet many wonderful volunteers. The best part is seeing the smiling faces of the students and how excited they were to get their Hot Lunch!
Congratulations to Tara Warner and Emilaine Santos who have accepted coordinator positions for the upcoming school year!
We wish you all the best
Thanks again Everyone

If you are currently leasing but have chosen not to lease next year the chromebooks are also required to be returned Over the summer months, the IT dept. will be servicing them to ensure that the are ready to be used next year.
