linings in some of the things that are happening right now. From innovation in medicine, education, and remote-work to the global solidarity we’ve all experienced moving through the uncertainty, the potential to come out of this collectively stronger is uplifting.
During this unprecedented time, we first and foremost want our community to know that we are here to support you in whatever way we can.
Here at home, many members of our Aberdeen Hall family were quick to reach out and provide whatever help they could during this time, whether it was helping the school itself, or extending assistance to other families. In this time of crisis, it moves me to see the support we are all prepared to offer each other and makes me so very proud to be part of this school. We will be sharing information on what services are being offered soon and, in the meantime, if you think you have something you or your family can offer, please contact me. We are going to get through this together, and my confidence in that has been reinforced by the words and deeds already displayed by Aberdeen Hall families. If you have any questions, please contact me at sean.ayers@aberdeenhall.com

During this time, maintaining positive connections with your community is essential. Keep up to date with Aberdeen Hall through our emails and social media or email a favourite teacher (they’d love to hear from you!). As an Aberdeen Hall alumni you are an important part of our family, don’t hesitate to connect with us and let us know if we can help. We recognize that some members of our AHPS family are going to feel the sting of this pandemic for some time, and being mindful of that, we are postponing our planned Athletics and Wellness Centre and the Capital Campaign supporting it. Thank you to everyone who

contributed to our fundraising efforts. We are looking forward to picking up where we left off sometime in the near future, but during this time we are shifting our focus to ensuring that our community comes through this even stronger than ever before. Like many of you in university have experienced, our students have moved to an online classroom. Our teachers are remarkable and, as they do with every new opportunity, have found ways to utilize the available resources and technology to produce some truly exceptional experiences for our students. Although there are many challenges, there are also sliver
