Ss ⁦@pennerLRSD⁩ were sooo busy in February, we decided to hold our I Love to Read Month in April instead. As we gear up for a month of celebrating the gift of reading, many Ss and staff stopped to ask, “Are we having a party?” The response? “Of course!”

High 5s for Important and Influential Women from students @pennerLRSD. Famous women…teachers…EAs…library assistants - all celebrated with a simple maker activity to fill a bucket.

Students @hastingsLRSD @louis_riel_sd are using the new Lego wall in the Library Learning Commons to describe the positive influence women and girls have in this world. Simple maker ideas with a strong impact. Love it!

Ss ⁦@pennerLRSD⁩ are learning about their brains. The more we know about how brains work, the better choices we can make for our learning…and for when we might need a deep breath or two to calm our thoughts!
