Thank you all, students and parents for another wonderful year of learning at McMurrich!!!

It is hard to believe that only 10 months ago we embarked on this journey as a Grade 4/5 group in Room 204.  We have all built upon many of our strengths and have overcome many obstacles.  Thank you for inspiring me and each other to move forward in our learning as a class community and to continue to make a difference by starting with ourselves.

Enjoy your summer time at home or away, with family and friends.  May you face new challenges head-on and continue to build upon your voice, because each of you has something of value to share with others. Perseverance, a innovators, leaders and kindness are words that come to mind when I think of our class community.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
Nelson Mandela

“Be the change you want to see in the world”
Ghandi

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss
