As our great leader Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”  During the month of April and into May we take the time to honor our leaders, our administrative assistants our educators and our students.  It is during this time we learn of the varying impact education has on all of us.  The inclusivity, kindness paid forward and passion for our work not only inspires others to continue the work but to become a part of the work as a life long journey.   Throughout the year, Algonquin has taken the time to practice inclusivity at every level from the work in Unified groups to awareness to peer-to-peer supports.  As this work was supported and expanded, new clubs were formed as well as new student initiatives.  All stakeholders at Algonquin worked tirelessly to create a specific niche for every student and faculty member while supporting each of our SPARKS!  To all of our parents, community members, educators, faculty members, advisors, coaches, and students, know that, ‘You are Appreciated!’
