With a few seconds left in the day, many children were standing at the exit doors, counting down to summer.

“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Yeah!!!” and then they started to run down the front steps.

Only one problem. The bell did not ring. They counted too early.

I yelled up, “You’re too early!” 🙂 

They stopped. Looked up and me with surprised looks on their faces. Then the bell rang.

“Yeah!!! Summer’s Here!!!” and they started running down the stairs again.

Have a great summer everyone. Find time to relax, have fun, and connect with yourselves and family. Get outside and enjoy the natural world. Find time to read a book or two. Watch team Canada play in the Women’s World Cup.

This is my last post as Principal of Cleveland Elementary School. Soon I will posting as Principal of Capilano Elementary.

To the Cleveland families, thanks. I really enjoyed my four years here.

To the Capilano families, see you soon.

Take care
