Happy New Year and welcome to 2026!
I hope the New Year holiday gave you a chance to slow down, relax, and start the year feeling refreshed. For me, I enjoyed spending quiet time at home, going ice-skating with my kids, and playing some board games together as a family. It was a simple but very enjoyable break, and I feel energized for the year ahead.
How was your winter vacation? Were you able to rest and enjoy time with family? I hope you’re feeling ready to take on 2026!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Christmas Party last month. We hope you had a great time, enjoyed meeting Santa, and went home with some wonderful memories (and presents!). We were very thankful that Santa could visit us once again this year! A huge thank-you as well to our wonderful volunteers who helped make the event run smoothly and to all the parents who prepared some great gifts! We truly couldn’t have done it without you.
Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about the sad news coming from different parts of the world, including the shootings in the United States (Brown University) and Australia (Bondi Beach). Events like these are deeply upsetting, and our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone affected. We sincerely hope for safety, peace, and healing in communities around the world.
Lastly, to everyone taking exams this month: best of luck! Believe in yourself and do your best — we are all cheering you on!
