Continuing with our long-standing Fraser Woods tradition, our Kindergarten friends began working on their number rolls early in September and had the opportunity to unroll them on Tuesday. It is always a much-anticipated event that brings great joy to everyone. Each year, several Middle School students will stop by and say, “I remember doing this, and I still have my number roll!” The Kindergarten students were also presented with a “stuffie” from the Middle School students. The children drew their animal, and then the Middle School students created the stuffie from that drawing. We started this tradition last year, and it is quickly becoming a delightful and important one! It is so amazing to see their drawings come to life. This past week, we also had Field Day for all of the Primary students. It was a great day and really brought together the whole school as a community.
The end of each school year is always an emotional time filled with wonder and pride at all that we have accomplished and how much each child has grown. To our Kindergarten students, those moving on, and their families, we wish you all the success you have worked so hard for. You will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we sincerely hope you will keep in touch throughout the years. To our returning students and families, we can’t wait to hear all about your summer and to experience the 2026–27 school year together. We wish all of you a summer filled with peace, love, happiness, and the chance to make beautiful memories. Enjoy the time with your loved ones, and may you all have a chance to relax and enjoy a calmer time of year. Thank you for sharing your children with us, and thank you for all the behind-the-scenes help that made our year so much smoother!
There are no words to convey the emotions about Ms. Maria leaving Fraser Woods. Her presence is one of grace, professionalism, love, peace and beauty. Her impact on our class is immeasurable. We wish her an amazing next chapter on her journey and will be waiting eagerly to hear all about it. We are also so comforted by Miss Marisa’s presence. What a gift it was for her to work with Maria for the past year and witness all she had to offer. We know it will be a great year.
We leave you with a poem that resonates deeply with us every single year.
Whose Child Is This?
“Whose child is this?” I asked one day
Seeing a little one out at play.
“Mine,” said the parent with a tender smile.
“Mine to keep a little while
To bathe his hands and comb his hair
To tell him what he is to wear
To prepare him to do the things he should.”
“Whose child is this?” I asked again
As the door opened and someone came in.
“Mine,” said the teacher with the same tender smile.
“Mine, to keep just for a little while
To teach him how to be gentle and kind
To train and direct his dear little mind
To help him live by every rule
And get the best he can from school.”
“Whose child is this?” I ask once more
Just as the little one entered the door.
“Ours,” said the parent and the teacher as they smiled
And each took the hand of the little child.
“Ours to love and train together
Ours this blessed task forever.”
