Bulldog Bulletin January 12 to 16, 2026
Vice-Principal’s Message:
Happy New Year, Sunnybrae Bulldogs! As we begin 2026, I am excited to be joining the school community and look forward to getting to know the students, staff, and families who make this school such a special place. My journey in education has included teaching Kindergarten to Grade 8 with much of my career in Grade 2 and then teaching Physical Education. I began my career teaching in Brampton, with the Peel District School Board. I moved to Simcoe County in August of 2013, when I was hired as a Vice-Principal at Mountain View Elementary School in Collingwood. I spent 4 years there before moving to Algonquin Ridge Elementary School where I spent 7 and a half years. I have proudly called the Simcoe County District School Board home. These experiences have shaped who I am as an educator and leader.
I believe deeply in creating welcoming, inclusive learning environments where every student feels seen, valued, and supported. Guided by a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, I look forward to working alongside the school community to build meaningful relationships, remove barriers to learning, and support every student in thriving both academically and personally.
