To all UGDSB students,

As we approach the end of the 2025/2026 school year, we want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to each of you for your incredible efforts, achievements, and growth throughout the year.

Like every school year, this one brought its own opportunities, challenges, and memorable moments. Through it all, UGDSB students have continued to demonstrate resilience, adaptability, creativity, and determination. You have embraced new experiences, supported one another, and contributed to vibrant, inclusive school communities. We are proud of all that you have accomplished and grateful to have such engaged and inspiring students in our schools.

This year, you have reached new academic milestones, explored your passions through arts, athletics, leadership, and extracurricular activities, and shown kindness and compassion toward your peers, staff, and communities. Every achievement—big or small—reflects your dedication, hard work, and commitment to lifelong learning.

Thank you to the Student Trustees and members of the Student Senate for ensuring that student voices continue to be heard and represented. Your leadership, insight, and enthusiasm help shape our schools and strengthen our board. We know the future is in good hands. We would also like to thank parents, caregivers, and families for their ongoing support and partnership throughout the year.

To our graduating students, congratulations on reaching this important milestone. We wish you every success and happiness as you begin the next chapter of your journey. Whether you are pursuing further education, entering the workforce, or exploring new opportunities, we are confident that you will continue to make a positive impact wherever your path leads.

As summer break begins, we encourage you to take time to reflect on the lessons learned, friendships formed, and experiences that have shaped your year. Celebrate your accomplishments, cherish the memories you have made, and enjoy the opportunity to rest, recharge, and spend time with family and friends.

As a school board, we remain committed to supporting student success, fostering a lifelong love of learning, and prioritizing well-being and sustainability. Your ideas, talents, and achievements continue to inspire all that we do.

Wishing you a safe, restful, and joyful summer. We look forward to welcoming you back in September for another exciting year of learning and growth.

Let's GO! UGDSB

Sincerely,

Ralf Mesenbrink
