I hope you are all enjoying your time with family and feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. It has been an amazing summer filled with sunny days and tropical temperatures it makes it hard to believe that the 2017-2018 school year is upon us! I am so excited to be leading our amazing staff at Haysboro School once again and look forward to all of our innovative and creative learning opportunities ahead this year. The start of a new year brings excitement and anticipation with old friendships reconnecting, new friends waiting to be made, teachers to meet, learning to experience and wonder to be nurtured. We have a great year planned ahead filled with diverse and exciting learning opportunities for all students. We look forward to making thinking visible through documentation, personalizing learning, rich task design, living in the disciplines, authentic experiences, cultivating curiosity, engaging in innovative ways of looking at the world, inquiring, exploring and continually challenging our students help us unfold our story of Haysboro. Our guiding question this year will be, “How Do We Story Our World?”. We will be digging deep into literacy and writing as well as celebrating working with many outstanding experts in the field as we write our very own story of Haysboro through our year long Opera Residency (What's the Story Hasyboro?). And of course we will be celebrating many other learning events along the way; Outdoor School (Gr. 5/6), Swimming (K-3), Skiing (4-6), Garden Harvesting, Planting, SoundKreations, Learning Through the Arts (LTTA), DrumFit, Concerts, Performances, Celebrations, Assemblies and SO much more!
