We the undersigned have come to know that early childhood educator Kim Corrado has been surplused and won’t be returning to Humbercrest in September 2022. This letter is to express our disappointment at this loss and to ask that this decision be reversed.
Kim is a supportive, nurturing, empathetic and highly capable educator. Through her natural rapport with youngsters, and professionalism, Kim has not only taught our children but also consistently gone above and beyond to work 1:1 with children who need extra support, and prepare children to transition out of kindergarten and into senior grades with confidence.
We all witnessed the challenges teachers encountered during the pandemic. Kim rose to that challenge and worked in partnership with teacher Mike Wobowsk to give the kids a sense of normality, security, and warmth during an exceptionally difficult time. That kind of devotion -- and grit -- is rare.
Kim is a trusted friend who has contributed to Humbercrest kids’ education, happiness and well-being. It would be a shame to deprive all those future kindergarteners of such a remarkable teacher.
It is our understanding that the reason for Kim being surplused is due to a shortage of two students. We recognize that school administration is complex, but to us, and hopefully to you, this gap seems small -- too small to lose such a valuable resource. Surely, something can be done to retain someone who has given so much to the school, the community, and most importantly, to the kids.
TDSB, please reconsider.

Kim Corrado has been the heart and soul of my child’s kindergarten experience over these last two years. I really hope the voices of our parent community are heard through this petition and the many letters on their way to the school principal and school trustee. Team Corrado
I can't imagine Humbercrest without Ms. Corrado. My kids love going to school because of the environment she and Mr. Wobowsk have created in the classroom. She is kind, loving, supportive and is truly invested in every single child that is lucky enough to have her as a teacher. To lose her would be such a loss to our school and the community. I hope the Board is able to shuffle things around to make sure she has a position at Humbercrest.
Keep the fight going
Humbercrest would be at such a loss without her. She has the biggest heart and opens it to each student. They are better for it.
Mrs Corrado has made huge impact on our son especially through Covid. She is a wonderful human and teacher and we are all extremely sad to think she will no longer teach at Humbercrest. We need Mrs Corrado to stay at Humbercrest!
Hear hear!
Mrs.Corrado is such and important asset to Humbercrest! She MUST stay!!!!

Ms Corrado has been a huge support for our daughter’s JK experience. My child is not going into the French program, and one big reason for that was the support Ms Corrado provides her kindergarten class. To hear, she won’t be back is a big blow to families at Humbercrest but especially for those of us who are staying (and chose to stay) in the English stream.
