Venture Further Together

Being “in the moment” is so important for our well-being and for making the most of each day. Given the uncertainty and cause for worry we have faced over the last year and a half, looking to the future and “futurizing” with a doom-and-gloom lens has been hard to avoid for many of us. 

Practicing mindfulness on a daily basis, even if only for a few minutes, is one way we can combat this tendency to constantly wonder “what if?” Some of my best lived days since the pandemic began have been ones that were purposeful and where I focused on what I could control to make the most of the present.

With vaccination rates continuing to climb in Ontario, we at Greenwood have been looking to the future with a sense of optimism. We have spent the last several months planning for all of the exciting opportunities we can bring back for students, and this positive attitude has already resulted in almost three months of a fulsome return to school. We are delighted to have brought back athletics, outdoor education, some field trips, school plays and more both safely and successfully.
