Dear B & B Families:
As another school year draws to a close, I wanted to thank you for an amazing year! As with the past few years, we anticipated that this year would bring its own set of challenges, and it did. We had many ups and downs: mask, checklists, isolating, online learning and all of the hand washing - but in true B & B fashion, students, staff and families approached each new challenge with perseverance, grace, flexibility. As frustrating as all of the challenges were, I am so proud of the kindness that was demonstrated by our school community!
I continue to be amazed by our students – they have all show such growth, both in their academic pursuits and in their humanity. They have taken such good care of each other this year! I am so proud of each and every one of them, and can’t wait to see the wonderful things yet to come! While staff work hard every day, a HUGE piece of the puzzle are our wonderful families. Thank you for sending students to school, ready to take risks to grow their brains. None of the great success that we had this year would have been possible without our home-school partnership.
A few other very important thank yous that I’d like to share:
To all of the parents who were able to sneak in a few volunteer opportunities: thank you!!! Fingers crossed that we can see you even more next year!
A HUGE shout out to our amazing School Council for all of their support; much of what we do and provide to students would not be possible without your tireless work and effort.
We are also extremely fortunate to be the recipients of grants from EducationMatters for many of our in-school and out of school field trips. Thank you for caring about our school and our students!
On behalf of the staff at Banting and Best, I wish everyone a restful, relaxing and safe summer! I can’t wait to reconnect in September and hear all of the stories of summer! For those students and families who are leaving our community, we wish you the best of luck in your new adventures.
