Dear Families,

As we head into the winter holidays, I would like to take a moment to thank our school community for your incredible generosity and support.

Thank you to all of the families who came out to our Warm Feet for the Streets evening. It was wonderful to see our school filled with families, laughter, and a strong sense of community. Your participation and donations will help provide warm socks and support to those in need during the colder months, and truly reflect the kindness and compassion of our school community.

We are grateful for your continued partnership throughout the year. Your support makes events like this possible and helps create a caring, inclusive environment for all of our students.

On behalf of all staff, I would like to wish you a safe, restful, and joyful winter break. We look forward to welcoming students back in the new year, refreshed and ready to learn.

Warm wishes,
Patrick Murphy
