The Start of A New Year

At this time of year, people often look forward to things to come while at the same time, reflecting on things that have happened. I am always excited to return to school after a great break and look forward to the great opportunities yet to come in this school year.

As we get set to return we are fortunate to have ten Korean students joining us for a couple of months. These students are in grades 5 and 6 and will be here to practice their english language skills and to learn about our customs and culture. To welcome them, our virtue for the month of January will be Unity. This is a chance to see that despite differences, we can all connect and contribute to a greater whole.

We also have new plans in place to support students on Rainy Days. Students will be able to socialize with friends from other classes and choose from a variety of games and activities that will be available to them.

In addition to these great opportunities we will also continue to focus on improving our technology plan, moving forward with our goal selection process for next year, Foundation Skill Assessments, and a variety of performances that will be visiting our school.

I look forward to the opportunity to continue to work with all of the great families and staff here at David Cameron over the course of 2010.  Happy New Year to everyone.
