Dear Diane
My sincerest regrets at not being able to attend your celebratory evening. I was very honored to be asked to attend your function, however, I am not able to do so.
Diane, I am proud to be your friend and am very encouraged with this milestone. Twenty-five years at anything is tremendous, but to have envisioned, promoted, grown and established a firm foundation in such a unique educational endeavor for that length of time is amazing. You all—Diane , the staff, the supporters, the parents and above all the students—must be commended for your commitment to this little school that could. Obviously, you are meeting a need and as a result, the young people profit.
Perhaps what is most exciting is that you have been willing to ask for assistance, you have all been unafraid to deal with the challenges of growth and as your graduates are recognized at this function, you can reflect on a solid history. You have all learned something precious—there is a wonderful entrepreneurial and passionate undercurrent to your school. That undercurrent is recognized through the desire by those who work within this school to engage young people in developing a ‘spirit’ which is respectful and opens them to life-long learning and a ‘can-do’ attitude.
I have enjoyed our friendship—through personal interactions, our time on the Association of Independent Schools and Colleges in Alberta (AISCA) Board, and my opportunity to be part of the Alberta Education Review Committee that assessed your needs for growth several years ago.
May the next 25 years be a wonderful adventure for you.
My sincerest congratulations and best wishes.
Terry
