Dear Vernon E. Wightman Primary School Families,
As we prepare to close the year and embrace the holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank you for being such an integral part of our school community. Your support, partnership, and encouragement have been invaluable in fostering an environment where our students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
The holidays are a time to celebrate, connect, and create cherished memories. I hope this season brings you joy, peace, and the opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones. Whether you’re traveling, staying close to home, or simply enjoying a slower pace, may your days be filled with warmth and happiness.
On behalf of our entire staff, I extend my deepest gratitude for entrusting us with your children’s education and growth. We are privileged to work with such wonderful students and families, and we look forward to continuing this journey together in the new year.
Wishing you and your family a safe, restful, and joyous holiday season.
Warm regards,
Bret Ryan
VEW Primary School Principal
