| Dear William Taylor Learning Centre Families, On behalf of the staff at William Taylor Learning Centre, I would like to thank all of our students and their families for an incredible year. Our students have shown tremendous growth over the past school year. I am proud of our school community and they ways in which each of us worked towards the common goal of making William Taylor Learning Centre a place to belong. Thank you so much to all of our families that attended the Year-End celebration on Friday. It was such a special opportunity to gather again in-person to recognize our students’ accomplishments. As always, my favorite part of the day is celebrating the students who have worked hard to transition on to our satellite programs. Congratulations, again to those students. You made us proud! At our Year-End Celebration, we share a sneak peek at our exciting new logo. After many months of student engagement and voice- we are officially transitioning to the WTLC Wolves next year. CBE Elder Hal Eagletail shares that in Tsuut’ina perspective, the wolf symbolizes family and loyalty, which I believe is very fitting for our school community. As such, I am pleased to welcome to the WTLC family, Jennifer Chapman, Assistant Principal. Besides having a beautiful name, Jennifer bring many years of experience as an Assistant Principal and CBE Education Strategist to our team. Jennifer is looking forward to working with all of our staff, students and families next year. Also, please join me in congratulating Cass Lygo who will be the Wood's Homes Team Laeder next year. We are greateful that Cass has taken on this formal leadership role. Your child’s report card is now available in PowerSchool. Please contact the main office if you need support accessing the report card. We hope that all of you enjoy a safe and relaxing summer. We look forward to seeing you on our first day of school Monday, August 15th.

| Dear William Taylor Families, It sure feels like Winter now...that came quickly! We are now entering the last week of school before break, as students' last day of school is December 17th. Classes resume on January 6th.
Students and staff at William Taylor have embraced the Winter Season, termed Ipákssaisstoyi in Blackfoot. Students have been engaged in some festive activities, including refurbishing old wooden palettes with planers, sanders, and paint, to create beautiful seasonal decorations! I am truly impressed with their craftmanship!
The outdoor education class has taken advantage of the fresh snow, and are often found practicing their cross-country ski skills in the afternoons. This is one of my favourite Winter activities, as it helps me feel connected to the land and those around me. The students also seemed to enjoy themselves outside, in spite of the cold weather!
Next week, students will share in some school spirit activities. They will have fun with a Christmas door decorating contest, Christmas lunch (in their classrooms), hot chocolate cart and snowshoeing (if weather and snow permits). We look forward to a time when we can invite all our families for an in-person lunch once again as we miss the opportunity to build community through family events.
On behalf of us all here at WTLC, please take care over the holiday season, and do let us know if you have any questions or would like support.
