Mission Statement

My mission as a teacher is to help my students realize that through learning, they can enhance their life in a positive way. I want to help all my students believe in themselves and through that belief, take on the challenges of life and go forward.

Dear 7M and 7S students,

It has been my utmost pleasure teaching and learning with you all this year. As you all know, today was our last day together, as I am moving down the hall with the grade 8's starting on Monday. As you may or or may not be aware, for most of my career I have taught in french. The one thing that made this switch/transition easier, was knowing that I would have the opportunity to teach the grade 8's again next year! I know you will all demonstrate the same kind heart and respect towards Mme Cholakov that has been shown towards me. As well, if you ever feel the need to talk or need to ask for help, want to come to workroom and study, please feel free! This is not goodbye - 

à bientôt!
