From the librarian’s desk
It is with mixed feelings that I wish to announce my retirement from Idea Exchange and as school librarian for St. Benedict CSS. It has been both an honour and a privilege to serve the students and staff of St. Bennies. I’ve been here long enough to have former Bennies students who were volunteers for some of the library programs I ran, return to say hello. I’ve even met a few former students who now have children enrolling in St. Bennies! All part of the grand circle of life!
|
I have very much enjoyed doing tours and workshops for students, and working with Admin staff and teachers to create a welcoming place where all have the opportunity to grow and learn.
|
I wish the staff and students of St. Benedict CSS a Blessed Christmas and a safe winter break, and a successful rest of the school year.
