Hey @mrjarbenne wondering if you know anyone who uses Minecraft for education in @hwdsb. Haven’t been able to host reliably since I’ve moved to the new school. Looking for anyone who might be able to help me troubleshoot.

A mother is often our first teacher! Thank you to the mothers at HWDSB for your contributions to education and students.

We're also thinking of all of the motherly figures who deserve praise and those who have lost mothers. Let's take the day to honour them all. ❤️

Since 1993, Indigenous peoples in Canada have used March 31 to celebrate the strength and endurance of their languages and cultures.

While Indigenous Languages Day is a single day, there are thousands of Indigenous language programs and traditional teachings every day.

This year, the Month of Ramadan begins on the evening of March 22 and ends on the evening of April 20. It's the holiest month in the Islamic year and begins at the sighting of the new moon.

Wishing peace, health, and prosperity as many begin this month of fasting.
