@LaraS_EDU Totally! I think it can be glossed over, or assumed sometimes, but I have grade 9s working on CAD/modelling software, and it’s the difference between “getting it” and struggling!

School bus ordered, trip forms in, uniforms handed out tomorrow…couldn’t be more stoked to open our XC season on Thursday at @BrockUniversity !

This was a blast to capture! It’s not a mountain, but it’s not small either! Great prep as Reid moves closer to @PikesPeakRun!

Here’s a video of a hill workout I did the other day courtesy of @m_rochus. It’s no mountain but it’s the biggest trail hill we have around here. #K2

The final episode of the year of TAB TV ran today with our original super fan, Sawyer Rutledge! So fun!

Hey distance runners
The best middle school runners do not necessarily become the best high school runners.
The best high school runners often fail in college.
The best college runners do not always become the best pros.
Eventually talent is only a fraction of what it takes.

In exciting nerdy news, my Adobe Firefly Beta access got approved!!!

Mr. Houston and I had so much fun at the TAB Arts, Film and So Much More Festival we decided to start our own HGTV show! Kidding, of course, but we did have a blast!

@HouseofRun specifically mentioning an “old tech teacher” felt a little bit like a personal attack, @_KevinSully …especially after an eventful 400m time trial at the school track practice on Thursday.

[Michael Rochus @m_rochus]

Great points made by @kristaduchene here! More representation please. Here is a shot of the start from the @TheSpec . Most of the people on the front weren't top 10 (not including Ryan)...first line management is needed badly. https://t.co/XiytvxpMXr

[Michael Rochus @m_rochus]

@realJ_Mitchell Coming from industry, seeing what is involved and demanded of someone on their apprenticeship (it can be a huge leap skills wise, even with gr 12 tech...not to mention maturity levels and all that goes with it), I don't see this going well.

Live from E221… the grade 11s and 12s killed their first shot at live TV today! Thanks Mr. Dawson for coming through with the interview; look out @CBCToronto, we’ve got some future broadcasters coming!
@TABTigerLife @OCTEOntario @ISTEM_HDSB

[Michael Rochus @m_rochus]

Tomorrow we go live at 9am with our first episode of TAB TV! Jeff Lutz will be hosting our esteemed principal, Mr. Dawson, in a 1 on 1 interview, asking the questions our students want to know the answer to! Link: https://t.co/4uo2hAzgoS @TABTigerLife @HaltonDSB

[Michael Rochus @m_rochus]

@Jimmymarks44 @TABTigerLife Definitely going to look into that!

[Michael Rochus @m_rochus]

Check out some of these vintage treasures I found in S110. I guess this means we should clean a little more often. 🤔 @TABTigerLife

[Michael Rochus @m_rochus]

@DrJasonAndrade @TABTigerLife Very cool! As someone who used something similar in high school, it’s wild to me how accessible the tech has come in the past decade or so!

[Michael Rochus @m_rochus]

Studio E221 is coming together nicely! Who should our first @TABTigerLife guest be?

[Michael Rochus @m_rochus]

Heads Up! Communications has moved from the dungeon in S110 to the naturally lit E221 (be sure to thanks Mr. Sumner for allowing us to take over his room if you see him). See you all soon!

Youth sports coaches: please don't use running as punishment in your practices. Running can be fun for kids, but you're making kids see it as a negative thing. Pushups too.

I'm mostly thinking of travel basketball, but I assume other sports have this issue too.
