| The staff at HMS would like to wish you all a relaxing and rejuvenating Spring Break. As we reflect on the year so far, we are proud that we have accomplished so much. Students have made great gains in their academic learning, teachers have embraced the opportunities of the learning outcomes in the new curriculum, and we are rebuilding our sense of community by enjoying clubs, buddy classes, field trips, fun lunches, assemblies, artists in residence, concerts, family evenings, and more! Looking forward there is still much to anticipate. We’ve got a continued focus on engaging and rigorous academic learning, the Minecraft Design Challenge for some of our students in higher grades, swimming and Alien Inline Skating, a new round of clubs, a few more field trips, Celebration of Learning assemblies, learning from the land in Fish Creek Park, Active Living Day, and our Grade 6 Farewell, to name a few. These last few months of school after the break always seem to go by at warp speed so I encourage us all to take time to slow down a little to appreciate where we have been and where we are headed.
