Kudos to the Swift PAC and volunteers for putting on a wonderful Carnival at Thomas Swift elementary on Friday night. Nothing but smiles on faces! 🤩👏 #abbyschools#carnival#bigsmiles
Happy Administrative Assistant’s Day to all the amazing people who are the heart of a school. Feel lucky to work with these rockstars @CGHBulldogs every day. #SimplyTheBest@AbbotsfordSD
One of the many things I love about @AbbotsfordSD is the focus on the successful transition of Indigenous students. Today @CochraneEDU and I visited our @TenBroeckSchool & John MacLure incoming 5s creating their drums and watched our @CGHBulldogs Gr 8s work on their paddles.
Shout out to the dynamic LLC Team at @Howemiddle for genrefying their non-fiction collection. Reorganizing and displaying books this way increases student access and engagement with texts. Circulation of non-fiction books has increased by 47% in ONE MONTH. 🤩 @AbbotsfordSD
I am looking at the pre-colonial history of the Indigenous people of each province.
Today, I am looking at the Kwakwakaʼwakw people of Northern Vancouver Island & the Discovery Islands.
Their name means Kwak'wala-speaking-peoples.

I encourage you to dig deeper beyond the surface and put in the work. It is your responsibility to become more ethical than what you grew up knowing. There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal. If you are tired of hearing about it, imagine how tired people are living it.🩸
Merci beaucoup a les etudiants et professeurs pour le carte. What an experience to travel to Quebec and then host exchange students here in Abbotsford! @MrsCal1#quebecexchange#abbyschools
The Gr.8 Indigenous students are starting their paddle designs to work on their very own customized paddle for our year end trip! We gathered today and enjoyed some sushi! 😁🛶 @clayburnmiddle #abbyschools#paddleproject
Thankful for these amazing co-workers for their words, teachings & support during a triggering & heavy week. Team work & leaning on one another reminds us of our inner strength. It is ok to feel difficult things. It is ok to lean on one another.🧡 #abbyschools @clayburnmiddle
The drumming welcome 🙏 set the tone for a respectful Orange Shirt Day assembly where the Clayburn community learned lessons about Truth & Reconciliation. #abbyschools#TruthAndReconciliation
I’m so proud of our @clayburnmiddle girls rugby team! As the season wraps up I’ve witness immense growth, dedication, perseverance & support amongst these young ladies!🤲🏽🔥 #abbyschools#rugby
