Proud Teacher
I have been a Math teacher at Wellington Heights S.S. for the past 13 years. As I read the Advertiser last weekend, it brought a proud tear to my eye seeing the positive stories about our small high school’s students and staff. Thank you for sharing those stories with the community about the many great things we are achieving at “The Heights”.
As the union rep (OSSTF) at our school, I would like to take a moment to recognize and thank the incredible staff at WHSS. Our small staff goes above and beyond everyday to make sure our students have the opportunities that students would have in a school three times our size. From extracurricular sports and activities, field trips, trips abroad, clubs and committees, mental health awareness days, community outreach, and environmental initiatives to bringing in record amounts of fundraising dollars to local and national charities, our staff not only provide the mentorship, direction, and motivation to our students but they always make sure to lead by example.
But we cannot do it alone, so I would also like to thank local groups, companies, and organizations and the UGDSB who help us to provide these great learning opportunities for our students.
As educational workers, we don’t always get the best press, so, again, thank you for sharing our positive stories and thank you to my colleagues at “The Heights” for making this such a great year!
