Middle School Principal’s Letter
Dear Parents,
Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s version of the News and Views. I hope this message finds you well. It was a week filled with our students displaying the core value of courage.
Thanks to Ms. Torky, Ms. Fides, and Ms. Spencer for organizing the Student Council speeches and elections. We have never had so many candidates who wanted to represent their school. Each position had six candidates who gave inspiring speeches on Sunday and Monday. It was a first in many ways, with the executive council being all boys. It has never happened before; that all positions had a runoff in the end. We are proud of all candidates for showing courage and perseverance.
The winners are as follows:
President: Kamal Sika
Vice President: Kamal Nakhla
Treasurer: Amin Abou Ghaly
Secretary: Hussien El-Khazindar
In other news, we have the Welcome Back Social tonight from 5:00 pm – 7 00 pm.
Please mark your calendar, on Monday, September 18, from 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm. The grade six team will be have an afternoon tea for all sixth-grade parents. I encourage you to attend to learn more about what we do in grade six to help students transition from elementary school.
Thank you to all the parents who were in attendance at the coffee morning on Wednesday. The turnout was remarkable and I want to express a special thank you to those returning parents who made a genuine effort to reach out and connect with our new parents. Your warm welcome and willingness to share your experiences and insights truly made a difference in helping our new families feel welcomed and supported. Your kindness and generosity embody the sense of community that we strive to foster at CAC.
Building strong connections between parents is not only beneficial for our new families, but it also strengthens our school community. When parents come together, share their experiences, and support one another, it creates a network. This collaboration between parents is invaluable and greatly contributes to the success and well-being of our students.
Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to middle school. We value your partnership and look forward to a successful academic year of growth and achievement.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
The Middle School Principal
