As many families are aware, every spring the school district reviews all administrative assignments and it is with very mixed emotions we want to let families know that in August, Mr. Sheridan will be leaving Albion and will become the Vice Principal of Alexander Robinson Elementary.\u00a0 Although we are sad to see Mr. Sheridan leave, we are excited for him as he further expands his administrative experience.\u00a0 In August, Mrs. Nicole Von Krogh will begin her assignment as the Vice Principal of Albion.\u00a0 Mrs. Von Krogh, is currently a teacher at Thomas Haney Secondary School and she will be joining the Albion staff with over 20 years of teaching experience.\u00a0 Over the next 6 weeks she will be visiting Albion where she will begin to get to know to our fabulous school community.<\/p>\n

Congratulations again to all of our students who represented Albion at the District Public Speaking competition last week.\u00a0 Also, an additional congratulations to Yarhini, in Grade 4 whose speech ‘My Inspirational Hero’ awarded her an honourable mention.<\/p>\n

Congratulations also to all our intermediate students who participated in the district cross country meet at Albion Sports Park this past Thursday.<\/p>\n
