Dear Keatsway Families,

Today marks the end of our school year, as staff and students celebrate the learning, achievements and friendships that have grown over the past ten months. June always brings many changes…exciting transitions and fond farewells. We congratulate our wonderful grade six students and say good bye to them as they move on to grade 7 at various senior schools. We will miss their leadership and look forward to hearing about how they will help make a difference in the world.

We say a fond farewell to many cherished educators, who are embarking on new opportunities for the fall. Mrs. Morden is seeking a permanent position as a Child and Youth Worker at a school in Waterloo. Mlle Schlumberger is hoping to get a contract teaching French Immersion. And Mr. Deiter, Mlle Dawson and Mr. Mills are looking forward to applying to positions that come up within our Board. I would like to thank all of them for their commitment and dedication to the students at Keatsway and we wish them the best of luck in the future.

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the Keatsway parents who dedicated so much time and took on the roles of the School Council Executive and Committee Chairs for the 2014-2015 school year.
