Dear Faculty,
Delegates of the ECIS Library conference have
already commented how amazing our ES section looks. Take a chance to wander
some spaces you don’t regularly visit - you will be as impressed as our
visitors are! Thank you everyone.
For those attending the conference this weekend,
enjoy. For those presenting, we wish you well! Everyone else, happy long
weekend.
Baby
boy Connelly
He arrived
early Sunday morning; Calley, Ross, Rowan and Juni are thrilled to welcome Bryn
Corbett to the family. Congratulations!
An Ode to Our Teachers (from a responsive
classroom sub!)
Last week,
I taught fourth grade.
The
memories will never fade.
I couldn’t
believe
each day
when I’d leave
The mess
of the classroom we made.
The
students kept it real.
I wasn’t
sure how to feel.
Did they
not know
How much
they would grow
With
Rachael behind the wheel?
I am woke.
It isn’t a
joke.
I’m in awe
of our folk.
Our staff
that teach
It’s no
day at the beach
And so, to
each--
You are
remarkable.
Thank you’s…

spectacular event.

- From
Ross: I would like to thank all the folks have offered to bring meals

exhausting) time in our lives. Thanks additionally to the 4th grade team

things afloat in my absence.

Today, Jack, inaugurated our first Faculty vs

students in Grade 4 and 5, and was a lot of fun. Final score was 2-0 to
the seven teachers who bravely played an outstanding game against four
different student teams, who each played one quarter.
Congratulations
