Ready or not, 2025 is here! While I am not one for resolutions, I like setting personal and professional goals. A new year brings with it a sense of hope and opportunity. No matter what happened the previous year, a new year feels like another chance to step closer to a dream, an aspiration, or even start something entirely new.
As we approach the winter break, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your dedication and enthusiasm throughout our Abbotsford School District.
I invite you to take a couple of minutes to view my latest video message to our incredible students, staff, and families.
One of the things I love most about this time of year is seeing the many ways we celebrate the season. Visit any one of our schools and you’ll see snowflakes and Christmas trees and happy faces all around. If you are lucky, you might even catch sight of Santa and his elves. And it’s not just in schools and classrooms. The Abbotsford School Board Office is a veritable winter wonderland thanks to the goodwill and creative energy of our folks here.
We are celebrating Christmas & Winter break with Festive Fridays! Auguston students were invited to wear Red & Green instead of their school uniform on Dec. 6.
The Auguston Arrows Leadership Club had a "mix and mingle" meeting on Thursday. We had some yummy snacks and got to know our club members better. We talked about our Cyrus Centre project and those who are in need and how we can spread Christmas joy.
