Dear Families of Catherine Nichols Gunn School,
As the 2021-22 school year comes to an end I want to take a moment to thank parents and guardians for such huge support this year. Covid Health Guidelines made school life tough as we could not have parents intot the school. We were so excited to see you back when restrictions lifted. Kids are a resilient bunch, but they need their parents to be able to come into school.
I also want to let you know about some staffing changes as we say goodbye to some dedicated staff. Thank you so much to Ms.Laney, Mr. Hefler, Ms. Frey, Mr. Hiltermann, Ms. Gloge and Ms. Easton. You have provided an outstanding education to students. Thank you also to Mrs. Bond and Ms. Parshina who have happily watched over your children during lunch. Also, Beejay is moving on. Thank you for keeping our school clean and safe. I would also like to personaly thank Mrs. Harbourne who is heading to Terrace Road School as their new Administrative Secretary. Mrs. Harbourne you have been my right hand these past three years and a welcoming face to students, parents and teachers. We wish you the best. I am also moving on as Principal of Dr. Gordon Higgins School. I will view my time here as one of strong community. We've accomplished a lot together over the past three years, and I think we are all looking forward to a more normal school year.
