    Wishing you good times, good cheer
    and a memorable new year.
     
    Happy New Year Team Halifax! I love the new year and the opportunity that January provides each of us to take some time and reflect on our lives and recommit to making changes and being better versions of ourselves. As the Superintendent, I am committed to continuous improvement and constantly working on being the best version of myself. We wish you a happy new year on behalf of the Board of Education and our entire district team. 2022 will be a year that we will focus our efforts on our commitment to being a District that truly shines its light by focusing on the needs of the whole student by empowering them to be successful global residents! I hope you all had a great and restful break and we look forward to the second half of the school year. Lets Strive For Five!
