In this edition of the Gaven Street Gazette, we report on the steady return to the quintessential SFS after more than two years in a global pandemic. As the Strategic Plan 2017-2022 comes to a close, we reflect on some of our recent progress in realizing its initiatives, including the School’s commitment to anti-racism and the Family Association’s community building work.
