This uplifting message was left by children in one of our Burnaby neighbourhoods. Great words of wisdom and compassion 🙂
All of you should have received an email from me today (Monday, March 30th) to your personal email account that you have given to the office. Please also check your school-based Office 365 email account to make sure that you know how it works. If you did not receive an email from me checking in on you, please email me to let me know so that I can add you. You will hear again from me by the end of the week with more information on how your continuity of learning will look like. For now, take care of yourselves and follow those wise words above.
