Dreaming of a winter wonderland?
Dear Alumna,

Even though there is no snow in Toronto...yet...to usher in this festive season, there is definitely excitement around Branksome as we look forward to the holidays and time with family and friends.

Please consider joining us at the Carol Service on Sunday, December 16 at Rosedale United Church. And, we hope to see alums from the Classes of 2009-2012 at the Young Alum Lunch on Thursday, December 20.

Wherever you may be, I send you warm wishes for a safe and happy December and New Year.
