The more you're in the hallways, the more connections you make.

That's the idea behind the standing desks used by school leaders in the @mississinewahs community.

If education is really “all about the kids” then why does it generally:
*limit physical activity, play time, the arts, socialization
*focus only on standardized tests as success
* give students little voice/input into learning
* focuses on their weaknesses not strengths

[Coach Gelardi @CoachGelardi]

We need more recess and #PhysEd in schools!

I'll repeat myself...

We need more recess and #PhysEd in schools!

The first, but definitely not the last 🥇

Sarah Nurse is the first Black woman to win an Olympic gold medal in hockey 👏

In Beijing, the Hamilton, Ont. native set two new Olympic records for most points (18) and most assists (13) in a single women's tournament

Why is vaccination still the ONLY thing we are talking about in terms of prevention of illness. Can we also talk about nutrition, supplements, exercise and well being? It’s something that improves quality of life for our most vulnerable AND Everyone. It is also forward thinking…

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Our students need recess, unstructured play, physical education, all the Arts, and their extracurricular activities! That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority.

Finally a statement I can get behind. Less division, more community. We are in this together!

[Abdu Sharkawy @SharkawyMD]

The fear & uncertainty that getting #Covid19 brings to some is matched by the same feelings others may have about getting a vaccine. Neither is deserving of shame. I've treated both this week. It saddens me. Less barriers. More bridges. #TrustWins

[M. Squire-Smith @MSquireSmith]

Imagine if during this #pandemic grocery stores were #mandated to give any produce they would normally throw out (and is most of the time fine) to the food bank. This would provide healthy food, improve nutrition and help families during this difficult time. #winwin #onpoli

[M. Squire-Smith @MSquireSmith]

We know @fordnation et al. have failed us during this pandemic is not news. As a community we have to start taking matters into our own hands and start talking about early intervention, exercise, nutrition and shopping local to help each other. #onpoli

[M. Squire-Smith @MSquireSmith]

This right here.
And #physed. Mandate physed. #onted

[Mr. Csajko @MrCsajko]

Mandate exercise.

[Amanda Stanec, PhD @MoveLiveLearn]

Teachers are the heart beat of communities.

*They coach your kids
*They create new clubs so your unique child knows they belong
*They set up peer programs to teach empathy & help kids w/ disabilities know they are worthy

Get off their backs & learn from them.
