Dear Copperfield Families,
We’ve had another wonderful week of learning at Copperfield School! This week, we celebrated our wonderful Support Staff, and we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to our exceptional administrative assistants, Mrs. Willmott and Mrs. Hagan. They are always ready to assist and warmly welcome families each morning. We also celebrate the tremendous work our Educational Assistants and Lunchroom Supervisors do to support our students and create a warm and caring learning atmosphere. Their dedication to our students makes Copperfield School a fantastic place to learn and grow! On behalf of our students and staff, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU for everything you do!
Thank you for your continued support and dedication!
Copperfield has heart!
Warm regards,
Colette Pedde Allyson Heggie
