Admin Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope this letter finds you well. As we reflect on the first few months of the school year, we would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome we have received from the St. Thomas School community. Getting to know the students has truly been a joyful experience, and their bright smiles have undoubtedly warmed our hearts each and every day.
As we approach the Christmas season, it is important to prioritize time for rest and the company of loved ones. This time of year offers us a valuable opportunity to reflect, recharge, and nurture the connections that are so important in our lives. We encourage you to embrace this time with your family and friends, creating cherished memories.
As we move into this festive season, please know that you and your families are held in our thoughts and prayers. We sincerely wish for God's love and peace to surround you during this holiday season. May you find joy, warmth, and comfort in the companionship of those you hold dear.
On behalf of the staff and administration, we would like to extend our warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Again, Thank you for your warm reception and for trusting us with your child's education. Together, we can achieve great things.
See you back at school on January 6!
Warm regards,
Shane Chisholm and Selena Frizzley
