As she explained to the students today, she is off to hibernate until the birth of her daughter. It has been the utmost pleasure being part of the Kindergarten team at Hilson over the last 3 years. Not only have I had the privilege of working with a group of dedicated educators, I have had the opportunity of spending my work day with your amazing kids! They have made me laugh and filled my bucket in so many ways. I will truly miss them! I often refer to Hilson as my forever school therefore I do not doubt that our paths will cross again once I return from my maternity leave. Until then, I wish you all a wonderful holiday break with family and friends and all the best in the year to come!
