During Spring Break, we were informed of the passing of Mrs. Luanne Jeffrey, our previous admin secretary at Beddington Heights School. Luanne was an important member of the school community and an anchor of the school. Those who knew her, speak about her deeply caring nature and amazingly kind heart. In order to allow the staff who knew her well to pay their respects at her Memorial Service on Friday afternoon, we will be be moving students to the gym around 1:00, and getting them settled to watch a movie. Some grades / classes will explain this sad event if it becomes apparent that many students are aware and need time for discussion, while others will answer student questions as asked on a one-on-one bases as needed.
In addition, Mr. Hebert and I decided this would additionally be an opportunity to reward students for the improvements we have seen students show when following our pillars of care. In the past month and a half, we have seen: care for self through an improvement in the nutritional quality of snacks; care for others through fantastic cooperation and kindness on the playground; care for this place through the picking up of playground garbage; and demonstrating care for learning on the activities for the Student Learning Plans for Student Involved Conferences and when capturing their learning for the Math Showcase in May.
We thank you for your support during this time!
