Today marks the beginning of Reconcilation Month.
Be mindful that this can be a retraumatizing time for Indigenous people.
Teachers, beyond Orange Shirt Day, be sure to also teach Indigenous resilience and excellence year round.
Our existence is resistance. 🧡🪶

22 Truths I Wish I Knew At 22
1. Most of your friends aren't really your friends. Real friends are there for you when you have nothing to offer. Cherish them.
2. Success in life is proportional to the number of difficult conversations you're willing to have.

What a wonderful way to end the week. I had the pleasure of co-presenting with Joanne Lombardi as we discussed Tips for a successful practicum and then I flew solo on a presentation about the importance of communication to Year 1 candidates. The energy in the room was fabulous!

It’s a great day to be a Bulldog! So grateful to spend an awesome PD Day with such a warm, talented and student-centred staff. I’ve landed in a pretty special place. Very excited to welcome students of Saint Andre Bessette as their new principal. #BestFirstDay#HappyNewSchoolYear
@dyanasquire So very sorry to hear about your loss, Dyana. I hope that a lifetime of memories of your father bring you some comfort during this difficult time. ❤️
A school, organization or community can only implement when adults become aware of their nervous systems, biases, & beliefs that have rarely been questioned or explored and how children and adolescents are so often reacting from body memories leftover with a legacy of symptoms!
Masonville’s Arts and Mental Health Event was a huge success! Thank you to our staff and volunteers for prioritizing #wellness and for making this such a special evening for our community.

Joy itself is an act of resistance. Celebrating the 2SLGBTQia+ community and the freedom to be who you are. Choosing love over fear and ignorance, always. #PrideMonth#loveislove @TVDSBSafeSchool
