Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board “Proclaiming the Work of Your Love”

The last eight years have been such a blessing. The staff,

students and the families have been a positive influence in

my life and have shaped me into the person I want to be.

I want to thank all of you for your kind words, your

thoughtful gifts and especially thank you for the blessing of

spending every day with your children.

Each of your children have been given a special book mark.

I mean every word! Your children are all very special and

will hold a special place in my heart.

My email will not change. If you need anything I will not be

far away. I will be back to celebrate special milestones in

your children’s lives.

God Bless each and everyone of you!

I can’t be sad that its over, but happy because it happened! I will be going forward with

new work but happy memories of this great place we call ICS!
