Good Afternoon,
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh)
Saying goodbye is never easy. But I didn’t imagine that it would be so difficult. I can’t even believe that this incredible experience has come to an end. These past 2 years have gone so fast, now I feel like it was just a blink of an eye. I met so many great people and I collected so many wonderful memories. The students have taught me so many things but the one thing I will always remember is the need for patience and love in the most difficult situations.
The staff at St’a7mes are the most amazing people in the world. They are loving, kind, respectful and care so much about all our kids. They work tirelessly to plan their classes and make the most engaging lessons so the kids can find joy in their learning. They are incredible people and have taught me that as a team we can accomplish anything.
The families have been such a tremendous support to our school. You trust that we will take care of your children as you would and work with us for the best outcomes for our kids. You are such an important part of this team and we love all of you.
Finally I wish everyone the best in their futures and I will remember every single one of you. You have left a mark in my heart and I will miss my time here at the school. Be kind to each other as the only thing that we can count on is the love of our community. And no matter what you will always be my community!
