Memorials

I fondly remember Mr. Boisvert as my elemtary school principal..he was always in a positive mood always eager to assist a student and always dressed in those bright golf pants. I know it's been 11 years since he's passed but something made me look him up just to see what had happened to him after I left elementary school. I hope his family is doing well and know that even to this day he is still impacting lives.
