#SOS Strathcona Elementary parents sound alarm about staffing levels. “We’re seeing situations like Strathcona’s across the district... the recruitment & retention issue is severe and it’s critical.” @CityNewsVAN @NEWS113O @VSB39 @janetrfraser @RichardsonYVR @victoriajungvan

@CarrieBercic Thanks @CarrieBercic !! It's a truly mind boggling configuration.

[Strathcona PAC @Strathparent]

Strathcona families deserve better! We need good emergency design and a functional, accessible, joyful layout. This is none of those things.

[Dr. Krista Sigurdson (She/Her) @ksigurdson]

Here’s how hundreds of Strathcona students and families enter and exit school every day….Basically waiting to go through single file. Share and sign this petition asking @VSB39 to make a change! https://t.co/dmmrMqvpDW

You are free to come check out the walkway for yourself by walking along the public access Princess street path through the school site.

You can view a video here of what this walkway looks like in action: https://t.co/iupqUhlHtb

Many families avoid this walkway because it is so congested and choose to walk through an active parking lot instead. This is not safe and we have developed an easy solution that loses a couple parking spots and moves our dumpsters.

Friends and fans of Lord Strathcona Elementary - Our PAC is asking the VSB to widen an unsafe walkway that funnels hundreds of kids every day to their classrooms. Sign and share our petition!

Students at an East Vancouver school have started a campaign to change the name of their school from Lord Strathcona Elementary to Barbara Howard Elementary. As @CBCLarsen reports, the students feel the former teacher at the school deserves the recognition.

[JenniferReddy @reddyforchange]

#VSB students!! So proud ⭐️"Our school represents community, kindness and just caring about each other — and we feel that Barbara Howard is the best fit to do that for us," https://t.co/NtsIpuD5HU
