Florinda and I attended the York Catholic District School Board retirement celebration last Tuesday evening held at the Venetian Banquet Hall. I have been invited to these celebrations for years, hired to bring students to provide music. I did it with Father Bressani CHS and later with St. Elizabeth CHS. It was nice to see all the students from Saint Elizabeth in attendance this particular evening: vocalists and instrumentalists. Each group of students invited me to take photos with them - it was special. There was food, speeches, conversations, and kind words expressed when each retiring person is invited to the platform to receive a gift and shake hands with trustees, director of education, and superintendents. I enjoyed seeing some former colleagues in attendance as well. Florinda and I enjoyed the evening and the clock gift with engraving is a nice touch. I am pleased to attend and it was extra special with the students providing wonderful music in the lobby, inside the dining room area and the National Anthem. I send an email to Principal Heinrich expressing my congratulations on the showing of Saint Elizabeth CHS music department students and teachers - professional and artistic contributions to a beautiful celebration. I spoke also with the new Director of Education, hoping to count on his continued support of Music Alive Festival!
