Community Services officers played some puck with students from H.G. Bernard P.S., as part of the @NHLPA Goals & Dreams initiative.
Many of the kids laced up for the 1st time, learning on-ice skills & the importance of teamwork.
We even recruited a few new fans to #LeafsNation!
Join us by showing gestures of hope! Window displays, sidewalk chalk creations... spread positive messages throughout the community! Share your signs of inspiration! #crosbyheights#yrdsb
If you get time to read one article over the weekend in preparation for Monday, this is a wonderful one to consider. We are in partnership with our students and families and we will all be learning. 4 Ideas to Consider for Online Learning https://t.co/0zIoyHDWkX via @gcouros
A huge mistake we make with our kids & sports is that we want them to be good. We shouldn’t focus on them being good; we should focus on them wanting to play tomorrow...
Let’s aim for lots of smiles & lots of tomorrows. Otherwise prep for the retirement of a 9 year-old all star.
Today is #nationalhumantraffickingawarenessday
Don’t think human trafficking is an issue?
Sex trafficking is happening at this very moment. Almost 90% of survivors in the HOPE program were born in Canada. Human trafficking could be happening to your friend, family, or neighbour.

Violence & abuse against women are among the world’s most horrific human rights violations, affecting 1 in every 3 women in the world.
We must take a firm stand against sexual violence.
We must show greater solidarity with survivors, advocates & women’s rights defenders.
Building community, demonstrating leadership all while putting into practice the reading and oral language skills learned daily! Thank you Richmond Hill Retirement Residence for welcoming us! @CHPSYRDSB
Education needs to be combined with a sincere, compassionate motivation. When intelligence and warm-heartedness are combined, individuals will be happier and more at peace with themselves, their families will benefit and as a result the wider community will benefit too.
Compassion is concern for others—sincere concern for others’ well-being founded on awareness of our own experience. Since it makes us happy when others show us affection and offer us help, if we show others affection and readiness to help they too will feel joy.
