Refocusing on God
Dear Parents, Happy New Year! While the hope and excitement of a fresh start seems to be waning already with the return of remote learning and restrictions, it is increasingly clear that we need to look up and find our strength and joy in the Lord alone. Over these past few days, I have been…
Read MoreThe Gift of Shalom
Dear Parents, What is it that our hearts and our world long for the most? Arguably peace or Shalom would top our list. In this 2nd week of Advent, we considered what the word Shalom means and some of its implications. While the word peace is often the translation for Shalom, the original Hebrew word…

Dear Parents, Almost on cue, the energy and excitement levels seemed to increase overnight with the arrival of December 1st.

Read MoreThe National Day of Truth and Reconciliation
Dear Parents, For the first time on Sept. 30th, people across the country are recognizing the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. It has been established as a federal holiday to “recognize the colonial legacy of residential schools, honour Indigenous survivors, and is vital to the ongoing reconciliation process.” The intent is to bring awareness to…
Read MoreRejoice
Dear Parents, A verse that has been coming back to my mind lately is Psalm 118:24, which says, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” The word rejoice according to the Webster’s Dictionary means to “give joy” or “great delight”.
