Dear Editor,
My sincere thanks to all of those who came out last Saturday to help celebrate my retirement from Island Pacific School. It has been a really pleasure to work with over 75 Board members, 150 staff and community members, and hundreds of parents and student over the past 22 years. It has also been an honour for me to serve along other island educators -- Scott Slater at BICs, Al Saugstad at the Learning Discovery Centre, and Ann Silberman at the Bowen Children’s Centre -- who are working hard to provide exceptional learning experiences for our kids. Helping young people discover and express the best of who they are is the most important thing that we as a community can do. I am lucky I had the opportunity to do this on Bowen Island. Please be sure to offer a warm Bowen welcome to our new Head of School, Scott Herrington, and his wife Susanne when they arrive from Dubai in late August.
Sincerely,
Ted Spear
