Yesterday, we welcomed 13 secondary schools from the @gecdsbpro and @WECDSB to the Alumni Stadium to compete in Challenge Cup 2024! Students participated in a variety of games and activities, working together to show teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship!

Happy Friday Everyone! Voting has begun in LaSalle and Amherstburg. I have been visiting both communities and dropping off door hangers with my information for School Board Trustee. I have over 40 years of educational leadership, retiring as the Associate Dean of Education.
OK, I have had so many teachers message me that they are already burned out. So, I am going to give away (2) $50.00 gift cards (paypal) on Friday that can be used for massage, dinner, or whatever will help you refill your cup. Just retweet & let me know you're stressed out!
