From the Editor's Computer

Mirror School’s doors have now closed.

I attended the Commemorative/Farewell evening at the school on June 17th and was thrilled to see and reconnect with former staff - Rob Pearn, Richard Brooks, Gerry Moen, Georgia Spence and Brent Buchanan. A few former students were on hand for us to all reminisce together of days gone by.

While it is quite sad that the school is closing, in one respect it is just a building. The vast majority of my personal memories of the school don’t really centre around the building itself. Okay, yes, there was that one time I kicked my running shoe on the roof and had to ask the janitor, Brian Bellamy, to get it down.

As we shared memories during the evening, our memories were mainly about the relationships we had formed there - many of which have survived time and distance. Mirror School really was one large family

They can close the building’s doors...they can’t destroy our memories.
