Dear families,

Thank you for an incredible Teacher Appreciation Week, and for everything you did to make our faculty feel seen and embraced! Thanks to the OCC, faculty were treated to delicious meals from Lauriol Plaza and Nando's, and were treated to luxurious massages from Sandra Carabali! All the beautiful little notes and gifts from children filled our days with joy and gratitude, and allowed teachers to feel the impact they make on our community.

In addition to shining on our teachers, we also want to proudly celebrate the families modeling our school's values:

• Act with integrity
• Live with grace
• Be a leader
• Think Globally

Our families acted with grace and gratitude by honoring our incredible teachers this week, took leadership by organizing a troop of young cyclists who took over Calvert St, and acted with integrity by coming together to protect our community. This community would not be the same without each of you who invest time, resources, and much love into our home.

And finally, Happy Mother's Day to all those who fill that role in our lives—mothers, aunts, grandmothers, godmothers, neighbors, teachers, and beings who welcome us with unconditional love!

Un abrazo fuerte,

Carolina Brito, Principal
