[Ms. Jenn Massey @MsMasseyJ]

You know your class is connected when they spend their lunch breaks on their last day talking to each other on the main classroom meet. We came from 10 different home schools but built our own community this year. Congratulations to Class of 2021! #virtuallearning #grade8grad

Ss surprised me with this Thank You presentation, and turned their cameras on to read each of their personalized notes! I’m going to miss 6-13 😭✌🏽

We had 6000 students who faced unprecedented challenges in their education and persevered nonetheless! Thank you!

We had 4500 families who partnered with us and trusted us to do what hadn't been done before. Thank you!

Have a great last day and a safe summer!!!

We are so proud of this Twitter account. These grade 8 students have done amazing advocacy work this year!

For our very last #FeatureFriday of the school year, we chose to highlight @curtisennis10 who will be the HDSB Director of Education next year! Curtis Ennis has held a variety of top leadership positions during the course of his 22-year career. #BlackExcellence

Wrapping up a fantastic year with fantastic students! We showed our talents, we signed “yearbooks” and we reflected on a great year together through slideshows and one last Blooket! What a year it has been and I am so proud of all of our students! @VEN_HDSB

Sharing new poem by @LifeAsWali was a perfect ending to our virtual school year. My Grade 5s left feeling inspired, encouraged, and uplifted. So proud of them!

Well I wasn't going to cry today, and then this happened. 😭 I didn't realize how much I needed to hear things like "you make me feel welcome like I could be my own person" from my students. @VEN_HDSB

[Ms. Candelora @MsCandelora]

This week students are combining art and Phys. Ed. with a drawing/fitness a activity! Our design choices determined our exercises, and then we got to draw. At the end, we all had a unique ice cream cone! 🍦☀️@VEN_HDSB

[Ms. Hofman @Ms_Hofman]

Today in writers workshop we highlighted letter writing. Students had the option to write a letter or an email to somebody if they wanted to. Needless to say, I got a few sweet emails this morning. @VEN_HDSB

[Kristina Murphy @murphykristy3]

Today is #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay. We wore orange to show solidarity with the First Nation, Inuit, and Metis people. We also participated in a Grass Dance lesson organized by the ROM and explored different inventions that were created by First Nations Peoples! @VEN_HDSB

[Virtual Elementary North @VEN_HDSB]

Today is #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay. As a school, today we wear orange and stand in solidarity with the First Nation, Inuit, and Metis People, who have suffered because of colonialism and settler actions.

[HDSB @HaltonDSB]

June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day.

For many First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, this day will be one of reflection and honouring of the children who were killed in Residential Schools. (1/3)

We are creating some "Instagram screenshots" as a way to share some of our favourite memories this year. Such a fun and special way to reflect on the past 10 months and capture some of our fav. moments! @VEN_HDSB

[Ms. Bothmer (she/her) @ms_bothmer]

We loved having you in our virtual classroom, all the way from Scotland, Linda! Listening to the story today made us all smile. Thank you for doing what you do! ❤️ @MrsAGallant @Ms_CarsonFoster @VEN_HDSB

[Ms. Candelora @MsCandelora]

This week in Phys. Ed., students learned about the Olympic Games. Then we played a Would You Rather game to learn which sports are included at the Olympics and to choose our favourites! @VEN_HDSB
