Dear Parents,
At George Street School, we try on a daily basis to reflect
our concern for your children and our awareness of the uniqueness of the middle
level years. You may not need to be
reminded that it is not easy being the caregiver of a middle level child! Please keep in mind that it is in fact, not
always easy being a middle level child; nor is it easy being a teacher of
middle level students. However, we will all instill in your child a sense that
never giving up and persevering is a virtue that makes learning a rewarding endeavor.
We look forward to having your family as part of our GSMS
educational community for 2019-2020 !
P. Plourde, Principal
