"Not feeling it today."
Commitment is doing what you said you would do.

"No one will know."
Character is who you are when no one is watching.

"It's too hot out."
You can have results or excuses, but not both.

"We have all summer."
The biggest mistake is thinking you have time.

For all those returning from international places, prepare to mask up for 14 days👍🏻. Cheers https://t.co/iqVKJOveYZ

@Sportsnet650 @karen_surman @ScottRintoul Should broadcasters be fined for ridicule and criticism of calls made by referees like coaches or players?

[Derek Gecse @DGecse]

@SnGarryGalley Commentary sounds ones sided! Please listen to your own broadcasts and reflect. Not sure why coaches are fined for poor calls and broadcasters can ridicule the calls referees' make.

@technolandy @mmarino18 @UndisputedBelts @robcadden @dougcumming Presumptuous! I’m in your blind spot and you can’t see me coming😆

Can we please, please use other's experiences and learn from them instead of going through it ourselves?

Hey, #teachers! Time for some #Fridayfun 🙃
Sum up your first week of school in a GIF for us, here's ours:

[Carl Cooper @Coop_swim]

Two weeks until the end of a most remarkable school year. Never been more proud of the entire SD83 Team, staff, students, and parents. #83learns #sd83 #sd83schools

@keithbaldrey wondering what Dr. Henry’s response is to the BC ED min., who has indicated that healthy students, that live in a home of parent/guardian/ family who is sick with covid19 are still able to attend school? Seems detriment to the efforts outlined by her?

[Derek Gecse @DGecse]

@JayAndDan why does Dan look like he has a tan? Has he been under the heat lamps in his cookhouse? Jay you need to get out of the vault👍🏻. Love the shows!

New #HangoutsMeet controls for #DistanceLearning: for impromptu meetings, participants won’t be able to re-join after the last person has left the call. Admins can also control whether students can create or join meetings without a teacher present. https://t.co/vYoOimJ1JY

Just in case you need it, here are the directions for loads of card games, most of which you can play in partners or with just 3 or 4 people, if everyone is spending time together in the same house: https://t.co/vLwZrSLFRZ

[Stokares @angelstoker]

@alicekeeler Try setting up a Google Hangout Meet or Zoom and ask Ss how they are doing. They just want a connection with us.

[Hannah Patredis @hpatredis]

@alicekeeler @NorthwestISD has done an AMAZING job at this transition! We are giving teachers, students, and families time to adjust before integrating e-learning. I’m so proud of our district leaders!
