Dear Lakeland Catholic School Division Staff, Students, and Families,

As we approach the end of another remarkable year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the theme that has guided us throughout our days: accompaniment. With Christ as our model and children as our focus, we have embarked on a journey of growth, learning, and support together.

To our dedicated staff members, thank you for your unwavering commitment to creating learning environments where our students could grow, thrive, and reach their full potential. Your passion, expertise, and tireless efforts have made a lasting impact on the lives of our students. Whether you were in the classroom, guiding them through their educational journey, or providing support and care in various capacities, you have opened the hearts, minds and doors for our students.

To our parents and families, thank you for your invaluable support, partnership, and commitment to our schools. Your involvement, whether through volunteering, attending events, and by being present and engaged in your child’s education, has been instrumental in creating a strong and vibrant school community. Your unwavering belief in the value of Catholic education and your continuous efforts contribute to our successes.

We are grateful for your trust, and we recognize that without you, our mission of providing a faith-filled, nurturing, and academically excellent education would not be possible. Thank you for being a part of the Lakeland Catholic School Division family. May the summer be filled with joy, restoration and new adventures that bring you closer to one another and to the beauty of God’s creation. We look forward to the fall and another exciting year together guided by the principles of faith, love, and hope.

May the Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Numbers 6:24-26.

Sincerely,

Pamela Guilbault, Superintendent
