Wow! Just a few more days until the end of the year and our school is certainly buzzing with activity. We had some great field trips, Kindergarten Graduation, Pre-Kindergarten Celebration, and our upcoming Celebration of Learning and Grade 6 Farewell. Over the course of the year, we had many exciting activities like these and I would like to recognize some of the individuals that made this possible.  Foremost, I would like to thank the students of East Elementary. Your compassion, commitment, and leadership are just some of the qualities that you possess which makes our school an exceptional place. Our students are the common thread that brings the tapestry of the East Elementary Family together.  Secondly, I would like to thank all of our parents and guardians. You are integral in helping to create a good learning environment for our students.  The essential things that you do such as volunteering, supporting our staff, and supporting your children help create a school culture where everyone feels welcome and accepted.  Finally, I would like to recognize the staff and thank them for all of their efforts this year.  Our staff spends a great deal of time and energy preparing for classes, planning events, coaching, and helping to make our school the amazing place that it is. Way to go East staff!

This year was my first year at East Elementary and it was absolutely wonderful and this is attributed to all of the people I have interacted with in our school community. I look forward to seeing all of you again in the fall and I wish you all a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer.
