I knew I would tear up watching this! Anyone who had the chance to work with Dennis will tell you he was one of the best teammates anyone could wish for.
Enjoy retirement and congratulations on a tremendous career! 💕

This and all of Colleen’s books are wonderful. I’d suggest reading these books with your child. You will be in for a treat. #schoollibraryjoy @ForestofReading

Systematic review & meta-analysis: readers' theater showed effects on fluency (accuracy, automaticity, and prosody) and on comprehension. Appreciate that readers' theater can act as a pedagogical bridge between word reading & comprehension. 🌉💗https://t.co/DwFAbPaK0l

[Morbid Knowledge @MorbidKnowledge]

On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters. Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact.

Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water's surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.

His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.

[People For Public Education @PublicEdMB]

Today Education Minister Wayne Ewasko accused the NDP and Liberal parties of wanting to keep everything a secret from parents when it comes to schools.

This is insulting to say and this kind of rhetoric is going to make teachers' jobs substantially more difficult going forward.
