The Grade 8s of @silverspringsps were so honoured to have listened to the brilliance of @SealeyRuiz. She allowed us to reflect and think more deeply about who we are and how we can make a positive difference in our world. Thank you @tdsb_cebsa and @tdsb for organizing this!

So proud to be an elementary educator, listening to powerful and passionate speakers during #ettfederationday2022.

Thank you @ElemTeachersTO for organizing this day for us and for fighting to keep it every round of negotiations.

@silverspringsps still stands strong with our CUPE partners - we are one, working together to build an education system that uplifts all students and families and celebrates strengths and addresses needs.

Orange Shirt Day should not be a called or turned into a “celebration”. It is our Remembrance Day. We honour and observe. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters

Thank you, @FoodShareTO, for your love and care!

This time of year can be insufferable with the weight stigma + diet culture that takes over our social feeds.

We're taking this opportunity to remind you that "new year" doesn't need to mean "new you". You are worthy & valuable, and your body is worthy & valuable.
