Elmdale School

Well, I can truly say it has been a pleasure! Six years ago I walked through the doors of Elmdale School as Principal for the first time. I had walked through these doors many times as a child, never even guessing that one day I would be the principal here.

Some memories that I will cherish over my time at Elmdale:

• Opening up the Library Pit and arranging Colleen Watchorn to paint the beautiful mural in there
• Surviving the craziness of lockdowns, home learning, and so many more aspects of COVID and how it affected learning
• Seeing so many students grow up over the years, from shy, little kindergartners to confident (and tall!) grade 4 students and beyond
• Working with a staff that truly (and I'm definitely not just saying this!), truly cares about every single child that walks through the doors of Elmdale School
• Cheering on the Piston's along Main Street as they headed for Play-offs
• Skating!
• Field Trips
• Getting to know many amazing families and interacting with parents, grandparents, neighbors and many Elmdale Alumni
• Princi-Pals! (Thanks A&W!!)

I want to thank you all for making my time at Elmdale a positive, enriching and learning experience. I wish nothing but good things for this school moving forward and will look back fondly on my time here!
