It's a small town thing

Caring school system reason to try small town on for size

Dear Sir:

Why would people live way up north and in such a small community? Let me tell you why.

My twin sons attended Centennial Christian School for grades 8 and 9.

This September, they are in grade 10 at Caledonia and last week they received a handwritten card from the Centennial Christian school board letting them know how much they are missed.

They wished them well in making new friends and welcomed them to come for a visit anytime.

I attended seven different schools, growing up in Alberta, and I never received a letter like that.

Maybe they were just too happy to see me move on!

Anyways, Centennial Christian School is an excellent school and we are very touched by their thoughtfulness. They are one of the many reason why we live in a small northern community.
