Molly Brant Update:
As another school year comes to a close, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of our parents and guardians for your support, encouragement, and partnership throughout the year. Together, we have celebrated successes, supported one another through challenges, and created a caring and vibrant school community for our Molly Brant students.
It has been a joy to watch our students learn, grow, and shine, and none of this would be possible without the important role you play each day. Thank you for entrusting us with your children and for the many ways you contribute to making our school such a special place.
At this time of year, we also say goodbye to some valued members of our staff as they embark on new roles and placements: Ms. Clapp, Ms. Conner, Ms. Paige, Ms. Boyles, Ms. York, Ms. Callie, Ms. Ali, Ms. Beni, Ms. Niki, Mr. Dean, Ms. Fayth, Ms. Scrannage, Mr. Gabe, Ms. Enta, Ms. Sherman, and Mr. Hardy. Mrs. Barling will also be moving into a full-time math facilitator role.
While they will certainly be missed, we are grateful for the care, dedication, and support they have shared with our students and school community. We wish each of them every success and happiness in the next chapter of their journey.
We had a year-end assembly today and celebrated our successes!
We would also like to wish our grade 8s another congratulations and well-wishes as they move on the high school.
As summer begins, I hope you and your families have the opportunity to relax, recharge, and enjoy time together. May the weeks ahead be filled with sunshine, laughter, and wonderful memories.
On behalf of all of us at Molly Brant Elementary School, thank you for a fantastic year. We are already looking forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall and beginning another exciting year of learning and growth together.
Wishing you a safe, happy, and restful summer!
We celebrated our kinders last week and sent them with well-wishes as they move on to grade 1!
