Thank you all, students and parents for another wonderful year of learning at McMurrich!!!

It is hard to believe that only 10 months ago we embarked on this journey as a Grade 6 group in Room 308.  We have all built upon many of our strengths and have overcome many obstacles.  Thank you for inspiring me and each other to move forward in our learning as a class community and to continue to make a difference by starting with ourselves.

Enjoy your summer time at home or away, with family and friends.  May you face new challenges head-on and continue to build upon your voice, because each of you has something of value to share with others. Perseverance, a positive attitude and selflessness are words that come to mind when I think of our class community.

Good luck on your Grade 7 journey! I look forward to whatever the next school year brings  :o)

GRADE 6 GRADUATION : an up-close and wonderful celebration of the great things students have accomplished this year and during their time as a student at McMurrich.  Thank you to the families who were able to bring in food and other items to make our reception special.  A special thanks to the teachers and parents who helped out with the decorations, and to Ms. Rambaran for creating a memorable year-in-review video for the graduating students.  

To quote Dr. Seuss:
And my personal favourite from Dr. Seuss:

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
My challenge for you is that you continue to persevere and move forward in your adventures (small or large) within your learning and throughout your lives.  "Be the change you want to see in the world" (Ghandi) as you have already started to make a difference in the lives of those around you and those you may not ever meet; you have inspired me and I look forward to when our paths will cross again, this year and in the years to come!
