Spring has Sprung! Principal’s Message On June 20th, 2012, Credenda Virtual High School will be celebrating our sev‐ enth graduating class. Are you part of that class? Are you graduating from your own school this June? I want to start this message by thanking all of you for contributions to school life here at Credenda this year. So whether you are a graduate preparing for new journeys or an undergraduate who was with us this year, it has been our honor to have walked with you for a while in your journeys. You have added richness and diversity to Credenda life and in your individual ways, you all have been that change in the world you want to see. For those of you about to leave us for the last time, we wish you well. We hope that you will be prepared for your new challenges as you go out into the world to make a difference. We wish for you – courage, love and respect. We know you will be world changers in your own ways. And to those who will be back, it is our most sincere wish that we will see you again. We hope your time with us has been a valuable experience for you and that we have been a support as you navigate through the world of high school. We are excited about the possibility that you will return to Credenda in the fall. Perhaps most importantly, I want to wish all students, staff, parents and community members a very safe and restful summer. Take of yourselves and one another in the months to come. Respectfully, ‐ Tyrone MacPherson, Principal
