Hello East Derry Families,
As 2024 draws to a close, it’s truly remarkable to reflect on how quickly December has flown by and to celebrate the wonderful memories we’ve created together. This month has been a testament to the incredible energy, creativity, and community spirit that make our school such a special place.
The positive energy in the building has been palpable as staff and students immersed themselves in a variety of seasonal activities. A heartfelt thank-you goes out to all the families who joined us to support classroom activities and those who participated in the PTA Paint Night. Your involvement means so much to our students and helps to foster a strong, connected community.
Our grade four school concert was a beautiful highlight of the season. The students' angelic voices brought joy to everyone in attendance, showcasing their hard work and talent. Additionally, we were delighted to host the Pinkerton students for the PALS program. The smiles on our students’ faces as they welcomed their PALS were absolutely heartwarming.
In addition to these wonderful moments, our Mathletes once again rose to the challenge during Math Club, stretching their minds and building their problem-solving skills. We are so grateful to the parent volunteers who generously dedicate their time to support this program and all the other activities that enrich our students’ experiences. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this December truly unforgettable. Your support and enthusiasm make all the difference, and we look forward to continuing this spirit of collaboration and celebration in 2025.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a Happy New Year!
