Dear Families,

Next week will be a short, two-day school week, and it will be filled with fun and excitement for our students. We are especially looking forward to our Winter Sing-Along, a joyful opportunity for students to share what they have been practicing, celebrate the season, and come together as a school community.

As winter break approaches, we would like to wish every family a peaceful and restorative holiday season. Whether your family celebrates Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, another tradition, or simply enjoys time away from the school routine, we hope you are able to slow down and enjoy meaningful moments together. This season is special not because of gifts or decorations, but because of the time we spend with the people who matter most. We encourage you to cherish those simple moments, they become the memories we hold onto the longest, as we prepare to welcome the new year.

From all of us at John Paterson, thank you for your continued partnership. We are grateful for your support, trust, and the strong community we build together each day. We wish you a safe and restful break and look forward to welcoming students back refreshed and ready for the new year.

Happy Holidays to all our families!
