Maya Zibaie, one of our grade 10 students, passed away yesterday following the airplane crash in Iran. This has been a somber day for all of us at the school as we mourn the tragic loss of a young life. I know that you will join with all of us in expressing our deepest condolences to Maya’s grieving family and friends.
