Dear Families,
As we approach summer break, it is time to reflect on a very positive and successful school year at Lord.
Every year, we have some changes to our staffing at school. This year, we will be saying good bye to Mrs. Wong, Mr. Campbell and Cheryl.
Mrs. Wong has been an outstanding intermediate teacher at Lord for many years. Her strengths and personal commitment to providing enriching experiences for her classes are well known – this year was no exception as the students in division one can confirm. Her contribution to the education of hundreds of students is exemplary. We wish Mrs. Wong all the very best as she enters a new phase of her life with her family.
Mr. Campbell has worked with many students over the past 2 years in his various roles – teacher librarian, grade 6/7 teacher and grade ¾ teacher. We have been very fortunate to have had Mr. Campbell at Lord as long as we did. His energy, leadership, and joy of teaching have made a very positive impact on many students. Many students have come to really admire Mr. Campbell. Mr. Campbell will be working at another school in Vancouver and those students are very fortunate.
Cheryl will be working at another Vancouver school in the fall. Cheryl has been working in the office at Lord for 14 years. Cheryl’s friendly, warm nature at the front desk has served all of us well. We will miss you, Cheryl and we wish you the very best at your new school.
We also have a number of students leaving the Lord community, going to new schools in September. I wish you well as you continue to learn and grow over the years ahead. Keep in touch with your good friends from Lord! To our grade 7 students – you will be a wonderful addition to the grade 8 group at Templeton, Burnaby North or whichever school you are planning to go to. You have been an amazing group of students – great role models, infectiously fun and positive. It has been a pleasure working with you this year and I know the teachers all feel the same.
I wish you a wonderful summer – enjoy the warmer weather and spending time as a family. Read books together and do some fun family outings – even a picnic at the park is a way to reconnect and allow yourselves time to relax. All the very best to all of our families and staff!
Sincerely,
Sarah Gray
Vice-Principal
