So great to have a destination for our after school bike ride today. This guy is very proud of his Belong Together tile. A big thank you @MsBrooksWRDSB for continuing to promote student wellness and connection for @wrdsb students!

Today is #PinkShirtDay: LGBT youth are twice as likely to be attacked, verbally harassed, and excluded by their peers. Words matter: Don't remove homophobia & gender stereotypes from today's discussions. #ImWithYou #Proud 🏳️‍🌈

Looking to learn more about the Black community in Waterloo Region and make a difference?

One way is to support Black-owned businesses in our community. Whether you want to order food or buy a book, there is a Black-owned business that can help. #BHMwrdsb https://t.co/HltnFHuNem

Many students have had to adjust from in-class to online learning. It’s likely not how you envisioned your post-secondary journey. Here are some ways to assist you. Remember to reach out to your instructors and fellow classmates. #BellLetsTalk @MHCC_

Mental health matters to me and I want to be the change that helps #EndTheStigma with #BellLetsTalk . I am uniting with @wrdsb today.

Thank you @RegionWaterloo for a safe/direct ride back to the classroom today. My Westmount Rd section is no longer "the gauntlet". 5 @wrdsb schools will directly benefit from these lanes as well as from traffic calming. @Cycle_WR @STSWR #activetravel

[Here This Now @EmilyRDaniels]

EDUCATORS,, the MOST important thing you can do right now (K-12) in remote learning is cultivate connection with kids! How? Play, lead movement, share Tik TOK videos, read a compelling story, get kids dancing, use virtual ice breakers, take frequent breaks, you GOT this.

Teachers — please go out of your way to befriend OTs, LTOs, new teachers in the building.

During lunch, invite us to a physically distanced meet in the yard / playground. Zoom us from the next room. Set a coffee date in a Tims parking lot.

It’s always deeply lonely being new.
