Dear students, caregivers and community members,
Over the past six years, it has truly been an honor to serve as your Trustee. I remain deeply committed to ensuring that every student in our community feels supported and empowered to succeed. As a former TDSB student in this ward, I look forward to continuing our work to strengthen our school communities in my ongoing role as your Trustee.
In the past few weeks, I’ve had the privilege of visiting schools in our ward, and I’ve been inspired by the incredible work being done to centre student voice and identity while nurturing academic achievement. However, we still have much work to do in increasing access to student nutrition programs, before and after school programming and mental health resources. These are issues that remain close to my heart, and I will continue to champion them at the board.
As I prepare to take maternity leave for the next few weeks, I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue working alongside our school leaders and to represent your voices at the board. I also look forward to continuing my work as vice-chair of the Governance and Policy Committee and the City-School Boards Advisory Committee.
Thank you for your ongoing dedication to public education and for allowing me the privilege to serve this community. Wishing you and your loved ones great health, happiness and success for the new year.
Warmest regards,
