Summer break is almost here and let’s face it, everyone needs this break. The last week of school is going to be so hectic! When we’re all saying our goodbyes, preparing ourselves for summer, and maybe squeezing in some very last minute tests before summer starts. 

But what’s so important about summer is that we take our time to relax, reset, and take a breather while we’re off on summer vacation!☀️

This year has gone by so quickly, and so much has happened- we ought to think back for a moment and have a quick recap of all the memories and things that have happened this year. So, let’s begin!

  • Global Village day

  • Grease high school play and a Wrinkle in Time middle school play

  • DOE 

  • Trips to china town

  •  Kings Day celebrations

  • NECIS for different sports 

  • Wellness week organized by StuCO

  • Graduation for 5th, 8th, and 12th graders

  • First Day of School

  • October Break, Winter holidays, Crocus Break, Spring Break

  • Teacher/student conferences

As you can see, so much has happened this year, and what we have listed is probably not even the full list of what has happened this year. I think that everyone deserves a round of applause for making it successfully to the end of the year. Just take a moment to read and process this entire year and everything that’s happened.

 Summer is a bittersweet time, saying goodbye to friends, but saying hello to sunshine and relaxation. But what can you do in the summer? Well… problem solved! We’ve thought of a whole list of activities you can do in the summer even if you aren’t going anywhere! Take a look! 

  • Go swimming

  • Eat some ice cream 

  • Create a business (maybe sell some lemonade)

  • Listen to music

  • Sleep

  • Travel with the people you love

  • Go to the beach

  • Take time to meditate

  • Binge your favourite TV shows

  • Hang out with friends

  • Go to the movies

  • Cook/bake 

  • Read! Summer is the best time to relax, sip some lemonade, and read a book!

  • Buy some new clothes, discover a new style!

  • Go to your favourite artist’s concert (if you can.)

But, no matter what you do in the summer, it’s important to relax and reset.

Have a great summer everyone!☀️🏝️🍉
