Dear editor:
It is evident from how the kids of the family from Hong Kong living with me are thriving that Crossroads Public School has made a huge positive impact on them.
They have been made to feel welcome.
They have been made to feel a part of our Canadian and local society.
They have been integrated into our community and made friends.
They have been set on the path to develop in our educational process and are thriving in that.
They have English language skills already at a very high level, with no accent, yet speak Cantonese and Mandarin fluently.
They are on the path to higher education and I have no doubt they will all continue through high school into university.
This is due to the leadership and teaching staff at Crossroads. I observe these kids day to day and can see all the positive aspects of their school experience.
As a former language teacher in the Ontario educational system, I unreservedly commend Crossroads Public School for its very high professional standards and teaching and socializing prowess.
All I can say is: “Congratulations to you all, the entire staff of Crossroads school.”
