Tarrah Elam, our International Exchange Coordinator, writes to our Grade 8 parents:
“A big thank you to each one of you.
The last three weeks have felt like a whirlwind, and if we step back to reflect on all the amazing adventures during that time period, it is obvious why. Thank you for making the last three weeks such a huge success for the students, school, and international program. I could not be happier with the academic, social, and individual learning and growth that we saw. I was so proud of each one of your students for stepping up to show our Colombian visitors who we are, what we love to do, and how we are a community and family.
The entire class banded together, as did each of you. Thank you for organizing so many meaningful experiences outside of school. I really enjoyed seeing our Grade 8 community and select Grade 9 families connecting outside of school. What happens in school is part of making these experiences important in our students’ lives, but the relationships built in your homes, and events as a group that help to build friendships, are what make the experience meaningful for all of us.
Thank you again for opening your homes and your support of our students and program.”
