On March 21st, join us in creating a single, global voice calling to #EndTheStereotypes! People with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities face stereotypes every day that lead to being underestimated, excluded, treated poorly, and even abused.

Learn more about how you can share the message and support the Down syndrome community this World Down Syndrome Day: https://t.co/8RUGmytsuP

For our 2nd Black History Month STEM activity, @STFXE_DPCDSB students were asked to create a new & unique potato chip flavour in honour of George Speck, who popularized the potato chip. Portable 3 whipped up with some delicious ideas and created eye catching packaging! #BHM #STEM

[Ms. Cava @Emily_Cava]

I really thought I had it in the bag, but out of nowhere the students of Portable 3 pulled off a GIANT WIN! They’ve worked hard and earned themselves an afternoon of tech time. STUDENTS: 1 … MS. CAVA: 🍩 #clasroombehaviour #teacherlife #Rewards #TEACHers
