Personal & Social Development

A message to those who lost a loved one in 2020, from one of our Guidance Counsellors:
I hope you and your family cherish their memories and have strength in the rest of your lives. This year, especially, many lost their loved ones. 
Treasure those memories. One day, may we reunite with our loved ones in peace and happiness.
White text on black background reads: The first Christmas after you lose someone you love is hard. You won't feel like celebrating, but you'll go along with it. For the kids. For the family. It will hurt. The presents not bought. The chair not sat in. The memories of past Christmases that threaten to suck the joy out of the whole day. But you will gt through it. You may even smile through the tears. It's okay. Start a new tratition in their memory. And remember the love you shared through the holidays.
