Letter from School Board
Trustee
How quickly the school year flies.
It seems like just yesterday we were breaking for
the March break and here we are approaching the
last month of the school year.
I would like to begin by thanking all the students,
parents and staff for their generosity. Our
communities generously support school events on
a regular basis but in addition, your kindness was
overwhelming in response to the tsunami relief
initiatives over the past number of months. You
also continue to support the Stephen Lewis
Foundation in its mandate to assist African
countries dealing with the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
As many of you are no doubt aware, Stephen
Lewis is the United Nations Special Envoy for
HIV/AIDS in Africa. The mandate of the Stephen
Lewis Foundation is simple - to provide the
necessary resources and hope to those in dire
need. The task is monumental. As our mission
statement says, "we unite in our purpose to inspire
and prepare learners for life in our changing world
community." As members of a global community,
we recognize the impact of AIDS on African
children. We believe that we - our students, staff
and communities - have the ability to ease anguish
and cultivate hope. All of the funds raised in York
Region schools will be directed to the Cotlands
Orphanage, near Johannesburg. To find out more
about Cotlands or about the Stephen Lewis
Foundation, you may also wish to visit the

The Board of Trustees has been quite busy as
well. I am please to sit on the following Board
Committees: SEAC (Special Education Advisory
Committee), Property, SALEP (Student
Alternative Education Programs), Expulsions and
many other wonderful initiatives throughout the
board - Character Education initiatives, etc.
I would like to thank you once again for your
involvement in your child(ren)'s school. Have a
safe and happy summer!
Sincerely,
Trustee (Marg) Aldridge
