With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we share the news of the passing of one of our beloved students. After a courageous battle with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL), cancer, and pancreatitis, Elliot Van Wynsberghe (Grade 4) went to rest in the arms of our Lord on Friday April 25, 2025. Since joining PACeS in 2022, he has been a valued member of his class and our school, with a heart and a smile that warmed every room he was in. Our hearts are broken with the loss of this incredible young man. Throughout his journey, Elliot demonstrated incredible strength, resilience, and grace—touching the hearts of teachers, classmates, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He reminded us daily of the preciousness of life and the power of faith, even in the face of great adversity. Just last year, he was one of our Student-Led Week of Prayer Speakers and his message of trusting in God, no matter what happens, continues to inspire our PACeS family. Even though he faced immense trials and endured pain, Elliot was a beacon of hope for all those around him. Elliot was a selfless young man who was always thinking of others. Just this year, Elliot was granted a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and instead of choosing something for himself, he asked for a donation to be made to the Cochrane Humane Society for food and supplies for dogs (which he loved!). This act of kindness and selflessness speaks volumes about Elliot’s personality and who he inspires us to be. He cared for and wanted to help others, even when suffering. As a Christian school community, we take comfort in the promise of Revelation 21:4: ”‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” We extend our deepest condolences to Elliot’s family and loved ones. Please join us in praying for peace, comfort, and hope during this time of mourning.

Happy Spring Break!! PACeS will be closed from March 21- April 6 for Spring Break. Have a wonderful and much deserved rest everyone!
