Kudos to Barb Gordon’s Grade 2 class at Chesley District Community School on their Kindness Project! Some of Grey-Bruce's finest musicians joined the students on May 25 to perform "Try a Little Kindness". We were lucky enough to capture a rehearsal: https://t.co/XSy9nAZ3mE

This is an incredible opportunity for our elementary students to partner with our secondary students. Leadership, collaboration and relationships are so important in the lives of all of our students.

Northport Elementary School has new chairs for outdoor learning! John Diefenbaker Senior School Construction #SHSM students cut the pieces to send to Northport for sanding by Grade 6 students. Yesterday, the students met for mentoring and a pizza lunch courtesy of @GreyBruceOYAP.

The seven trees planted in this area represent each of the Grandfather Teachings. The pathway along the sidewalk represents our shared journey along the Good Path in life. The pained hands remind us that authentic reconciliation and healing will take time. #GoodPath

Another great morning of learning with @dduff77 @BluewaterDSB! Thanks for “scaling up” our thinking and “decomposing” our misconceptions! Lots to unpack!!!

[BWDSB Program Department @BWDSBProgram]

Wow! That was some energy from Classic Roots today! This Anishinaabe artist brought together traditional fancy dance and modern beats to create an upbeat event that kicked off Indigenous History Month @BluewaterDSB #IndigenousHistoryMonth

A visit today to #GBCS, one of @BluewaterDSB newest schools! Thanks Mr. Wilson for the welcome and to the students who took the time to share with me all of the great things they learned this year. Some beautiful master pieces…

Great to see the Pride flags flying in support at schools within @BWDSBProgram @OSDSS_Official #GBCS

[Bluewater DSB @BluewaterDSB]

Happy Pride Month! In #BWDSB, we celebrate diversity, acceptance, and inclusion, as well as expand our learning on important issues impacting those who identify as LGBTQ2S+. During June, our schools/work sites are raising/displaying the Pride flag as an expression of support.

@OspreyCentral @BluewaterDSB @laurenmlipsett Looks so great! A ray of ☀️ on a Monday morning!!!

[BWDSB Program Department @BWDSBProgram]

A true pleasure working with the educators at Highpoint @BluewaterDSB over the last 4 weeks. Many great things happening around diversity, equity and inclusion, which is so apparent when speaking with students. 💕 And thanks for introducing us to adopting “class pets!” Brilliant!

[BWDSB Program Department @BWDSBProgram]

Amazing things happening at @OspreyCentral @BluewaterDSB. Not only were the educators so welcoming and appreciative, but I had the opportunity to meet the Twitter guru from Osprey face to face! Game on!

[BWDSB Program Department @BWDSBProgram]

East Ridge Community School hosted its traditional Family Math Night in-person yesterday after last year's virtual event. Over 200 people (120 students) attended for math games, draws, and more. After-School Math Club students also created carnival math games for older students.

[BWDSB Program Department @BWDSBProgram]

After a long couple of years of meeting virtually with Doug Duff @dduff77 we had the opportunity to work with him…in real life!!!! Always pushes our thinking about math. A great reminder of the importance of creating fluidity between CRA representations. @BluewaterDSB

[BWDSB Program Department @BWDSBProgram]

Thank you Alexandra @BluewaterDSB for being so welcoming today! Some incredible highlights…I met “Ben” the class chick that just hatched, the 7 trees planted beside the school, each one representing the 7 Grandfather Teachings and “Friday Family Day” where families visited!

[BWDSB Program Department @BWDSBProgram]

Bluewater had the incredible opportunity to listen to Dr. Cathy Marks Krpan today who provided a great insight in empowering and supporting English Language Learners in mathematics. Valuing all voices and ideas. Thanks Mr. Bowles for organizing! @BluewaterDSB @CathyMarksKrpan
