As the sun sets on this final week of the term, I find myself reflecting on the profound and bittersweet moment we find ourselves in as we say a heartfelt farewell to Elim Farm. This campus has been the backdrop for so many cherished memories, filled with the laughter and growth of our children, but as our Chairman so aptly reminded us, we are currently planting trees under whose shade we may never sit.

"Sitting under a zinc roof, listening to the rain beating down... it’s God’s music." There is a particular rhythm to life at Hermitage House when the clouds settle over our valley. As I sit here writing this, the steady drumming above reminds me of how fortunate we are. We are deeply thankful for the rain that sustains our grounds and our community, and we remain truly blessed to have a roof over our heads—a simple, sturdy shelter that allows us to appreciate the storm from a place of safety, something not all communities are fortunate to have.

It has been a thoroughly enjoyable start to the year. Watching the school gates open and seeing the energy return to our hallways is always a highlight, but I have especially enjoyed spending more time with our preschool phase recently. All credit must go to Aniska and her team for creating such a fun, vibrant, and enjoyable learning space for our future superstars.
