Wishing You and Yours a Safe and Joyful Holiday Season
Subject: Holiday greetings from Minister Nicolaides
Dear colleagues,
As the first half of this school year winds down and we approach the holiday season, I want to extend my warmest wishes to you and your families for a merry Christmas, happy holiday, and joyful new year.
I believe the greatest gift we can give our children is that of a world-class education. As we celebrate this time of year, I want to thank you for everything you have done to help get this school year off to a great start.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Alberta’s extraordinary teachers, teacher leaders, educational assistants, and school support staff, our education system is empowering students to reach their full potential and helping them build the skills and abilities they need to step into life after school with confidence.
On behalf of my family, my colleagues in the Alberta government, and the entire Alberta Education team, merry Christmas, happy holidays, and happy new year.
I kindly ask that you forward the attached correspondence to parents on my behalf.
Demetrios Nicolaides ECA PhD
Minister of Education
