Monday Memo Musings

Summer arrives Thursday.  We have nine days till year end. So far we have had three lovely award gatherings. One in Rainbow, one in Blue Hills and one in High level last Friday.  Each was a celebration of all that students do and all that staff do, to get kids to a space where they can see success.  Kat Winter spoke about Eric and his impact on her. She said she was a reluctant student and he made her believe she could do it. She travelled from Vancouver to honor her teacher. Now that's a lovely way to retire! What an honor to hear her talk about Eric. (made me tear a little.) Huge thanks to Bonnie for inviting her to our celebration.  You all  impact our kids daily and for years to come. You might never know it  but you do. How lucky are you to be working in Outreach and Zama. How lucky are our kids that you are working in Outreach!  Schedules Monday- In GP- Seems little grandbaby is aching to get out! So kelsey is in labor right now. We are heading to GP in a coup

Our Grads chose this as a song. Have a listen. Nice way to start the morning. Eva has an exciting week with Raelene graduating.  New Happenings We are so excited for Darren, he has his wish to be back in the classroom. He will be teaching Junior High at Hillcrest. That's a fabulous age to teach, enjoy.  An ad for Darren's job will come out today. We welcome new staff to our schools, great to harness the skills of many.  Janet and I relocated some materials to other schools in the division. Better that those books are in the hands of kids!   Allan Sprelrem will start with us in High Level next week. He will have today as an orientation day in High Level. Allan will work four days a week with us until the end of the school year. Hopes are that he can become comfortable with the course material to have an smooth start in September.  Educational Assistant contracts are to be signed this week. I am bringing them around to locations.  Vulnerable sector checks need
