From the Principal

Hello Graham Families,

As the holiday season approaches, we want to take a moment to thank you for your ongoing support and partnership throughout the year. It’s been a wonderful journey watching our students grow, learn, and thrive together!

Our school will be closed for the holiday break from December 23, 2024 to January 3, 2025. Classes will resume on January 6, 2025. We encourage everyone to use this time to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories with loved ones.

We wish you and your family a joyful and safe holiday season filled with warmth, love, and cheer. May the New Year bring happiness, health, and continued success to all!

Thank you for being an essential part of our school community. We look forward to seeing everyone back in the New Year!

Happy Holidays!

Warm regards,

Jamie Brooks
