Page 6 - Yearbook 2020-21

Greetings dear CBS students, staff and parents,

The school year of 2020/2021 has been a tremendous
learning curve for us all. While we have all felt the

uncertainty and sorrow of living through a world-wide
pandemic, we have also demonstrated amazing

resilience and fortitude to carry on to the best of our
abilities. This ability for the human spirit to overcome

and continue to move forward has brought a lot of richness and deep

meaning to our lives. We have felt more strongly the importance of
family, friends and community and we have developed the skills to

manage and support each other and learn more than we ever thought
possible to move through these challenging circumstances.

Despite the challenges we have all grown through this year and we have
had an incredible year. Our students have flourished in ways we did not

know would happen. Reading, writing and math skills improved
throughout the year, students developed their communication and

creative skills through all the presentations and videos they completed
this year, and they developed their tech skills in ways they never would

imagine as they learned on-line. Students and parents valued the efforts

of our teachers in providing an important connection for some normalcy
for our students and we all valued our parents as we could not have

managed the year without your unwavering support. We really did come
together as a community to raise our students. It has been a year we will

never forget.
I know this year’s CBS yearbook will provide a lasting memory of an

amazing school year of resilience and resolve; where teachers, students

and parents all worked together to support the well-being and success
of our students.

With much appreciation and gratitude to you all,

Ms. Mary Kelly
Elementary School Principal
