​​Dear ASD-S Families,

On June 9^th (and 10^th for those schools engaged in blended learning), over 200 schools in the four Anglophone School Districts across New Brunswick will celebrate a province-wide Student Appreciation Day.

New Brunswick has been a global leader in fighting the spread of COVID-19, and our students have been a major part of this. They have demonstrated their resiliency by wearing masks, physical distancing, being apart from friends, adapting to online learning, missing out on extra-curricular activities, events, and so much more. This celebration is to recognize the challenging year they have had and to show appreciation for their patience and understanding.

Tomorrow and Thursday, our schools will be taking the opportunity to say thank you to our students in different ways, unique to each school. While COVID-19 has impacted our ability to show school spirit in the traditional  ways, we hope this will be a fun and celebratory way to show our students our gratitude. We also want to extend thanks to parents and guardians for modelling kindness and patience during these times and being positive role models for your children. Student Appreciation Day is our way of showing appreciation to all for navigating a school year unlike any other.

Sincerely,

Zoё Watson

Superintendent
