It’s the quintessential day where both teachers and students celebrate.

It’s the anticipation of a summer of relaxation ahead, with a level of uncertainty about how it will shape up. As a young person, each summer stretches into eternity, every day flowing like an endless stream.

As an adult, especially a teacher, each summer seems to get shorter as you try to squeeze every moment you can out of it.

The last day of school represents a year of school done, but not education.

Education lasts beyond the final bell of the school year, beyond the final graduation ceremony and beyond the milestones of our lives.

It is with sincere hope we leave the school year not having learned something, but having the spirit of education sewn into us.

After all, we are all lifelong learners.

Happy summer to all students, teachers and support staff!
