Dear Diane;

Congratulations on the 25th Anniversary of Banbury Crossroads School. Thank you for the invitation to attend the festivities, unfortunately we will be unable to.

We appreciated the opportunity to have Casey and Corey receive their senior education at Banbury. We believe that the individual attention that they received from teachers like Gary, Melissa, Karen, Christina, Alistair, Kathy and others as well as the leadership that Diane provided was central to their success. Their achievements on their final exams, for example Casey 99% on his Math 30 final, and high marks all round for both Casey and Corey were a direct result of the teaching practices and one on one instruction they received at Banbury.

The close association with the school allowed us to keep track of what the guys were doing. The interaction with students of all ages was an added benefit to our boys, it gave them an opportunity to be examples to the younger ones, we hope that their behaviour did have positive influences, although we are sure there were times when they weren’t exactly ideal role models.

We are proud to say that both our boys have gone on to higher education and were able to because they attended Banbury in their senior high school years.

Casey has a dual degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering. He attended Memorial University in St. John’s Newfoundland and is now working in Vancouver for West Bay Sonship Yacht Company.

Corey started his Bachelor of Sciences at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia for 2 years. Upon our return to Calgary in 1999 he continued at the University of Calgary and is now completing a degree in Finance at the Mount Royal College.

Thanks for opportunity that was given to our boys. We wish you every success in the next 25 years.
