Nurses at Pasqua Hospital informed us they’re down by over 50% nurse staffing today! & the ER is “FULL with basically all needing hospital admission”

This is dangerous, unsustainable, & a reality the public needs to know about. #skpoli #yqr

#Sask healthcare is in crisis.

They said we had to learn to "live with COVID".

I guess by that, they meant having every respiratory virus in existence, including SARS-CoV-2, sweep through our kids (& their households) over just a few weeks.

Our elected officials gave up. Our kids will pay a heavy price.

Thank you @NicWinstanley for gifting one of our students the opportunity to read with you! You both had our @DrPerrySchool @RegPublicSchool Ss giggling and smiling throughout! Only 1 more hour before the champion of our @WillowAwards Book Battle is announced! #eekk!

I was blasted by @JohnGormleyShow on the radio yesterday. Here's my response. https://t.co/EwtbjFoLYA #edchat #edtech #skpoli

37 SK Pediatricians wrote to Ed Minister @GordWyant urging him to come up with a robust #BackToSchool2020 plan. I hear from concerned parents, teachers, and education workers daily & I'm afraid yesterday's announcement is too little too late. #sasked #skpoli #covid19sk

A plexiglas barrier for every desk, colour-coded masks, and smaller class sizes — a look inside Pasqua First Nation’s school and its very serious plan to keep kids safe. @bonnieallenCBC

One of our teachers wrote this on their social media. It is shared with their permission. It resonates in this time of action and reflection. No hashtags necessary. It is time to listen.

Scaffolded anti-racism resources to work through, instead of just posting a black square: https://t.co/zISmWOWoEO #blacklivesmatter

[Aaron Warner @MrEhRon]

If I were at school today, I’d be joined by Ss eager to make sense of #protests2020 against #socialinjustice. These convos still need to happen. #Racism isn’t just #US news, it’s reality for many #Canadians. I compiled these to share w/ my Ss. https://t.co/3zTqUaHAgG #canada #yqr

CSL has been involved in this great initiative. Couldn’t have come at a better time, when access to Canadian books is so needed!

"those who promote a Science of Reading often supporting online reading programs, never mention the loss of school libraries or qualified librarians. Why should children care about decoding words if there’s no library where they can browse & choose reading material that matters"
