I am a lucky man. I work in a job I enjoy. I get to work with incredible children and dedicated adults every day. I receive support from an active and positive Parent Advisory Council. I love my job.
I also love the fact that I will soon be going on vacation. 🙂 The Gulf Islands are calling, and I will soon be on my way.
Before I am able to leave to the Denman Island for the summer, I first have a few things to wrap up. There are some emails to parents that I will answer before July 4th. There are some phone calls to make and some staff still to hire. I have to pack up my office and get parts of the school ready for the summer construction project.
Soon. Vacation will be here soon.
Over the summer I plan to reflect on these past two years, and set some goals for myself on how I can continue to help Cleveland Elementary School be a place where all learners can achieve success, and all community members feel valued and cared for. I will take some time to try and understand French Immersion instruction and how to support the program as an Anglophone from Quebec (sounds like a bad song title). I will read novels that have nothing to do with school – I just started Peter F. Hamilton‘s The Temporal Void. I will exercise more (I promise mom). I will find time to relax, enjoy good company and family time, and connect with nature. I will be ready to come back in late August.
Thank you to all members of the Cleveland Elementary School community for their continued support and positive energy throughout the year.
Thank you to all our grade 7’s and good luck in High School.
I would like to acknowledge the six grade 7 students who were honoured at our Grade 7 Farewell Celebration on June 25th – Adam, Aidan, Avery, Jenna, Lizzie and Meghan. These six students were chosen by the Cleveland staff to receive our annual Citizenship Award. Thank you for your contributions, and thank you for your excellence.
Have a wonderful summer and see you in September.
Take care.
