Students and Families of CGMA,

It is with great pleasure that we, faculty and staff, welcome our students and their families to the commencement of the 2011-2012 academic school year at CGMA. I hope that you all had a restful summer holiday filled with wonderful new experiences that contribute to growth and a sense of accomplishment. We eagerly await to hear your summertime stories upon your return to school.

This year marks my 17^th year as Principal at CGMA and I am honoured to be part of a school that has grown to become a nurturing community of collaboration and academic success. At CGMA we will not only spend the time necessary to assist students to reach their inate potential and guide them along their educative path, but we will remind the students that although it is necessary to plan and strive for the future it is equally necessary to take the time to see the success of who you are now. Students should take the time to delight in their many accomplishments achieved thus far and need to take inventory of themselves so that we, together, can grow forward and actively engage in and witness success not only for ourselves but for other members of CGMA.

As you arrive at school you will be pleased to discover the renovations that have taken place during the summer. Our students, families, faculty and staff will, no doubt, be delighted with the improvements which can only contribute excitement to the commencement of a new school year. I am sure that you all join me in thanking Mrs. Ierullo for her instrumental role in making this possible. I would also like to thank our students for their tireless efforts in bringing this vision to fruition, namely, Austin, Avery, James, Anthony, William, Kelsey, Noah, Hussein, Nik, Jordan, Francesca and Elizabeth. Your participation was paramount and is met with lasting gratitude.

I anticipate a successful academic school year filled with opportunity and experiences that will aid all of our students in their educative journey.

Warmest Regards,
