@StarbucksCanada why are we being weird re: eggnog? I just want to order an eggnog chai, but I can’t? Only an eggnog latte? I can add chai to the latte but I can’t remove the espresso? Is there an eggnog shortage? Why are you gate keeping the nog?!
@LtGovAB Given your claim to value education, I am deeply disappointed in your decision to give royal assent to Bill 2. What an awful thing to be remembered for.
@LtGovAB As a former Alberta teacher, I spent 10 years in overcrowded, underfunded classrooms and witnessed firsthand the irreparable damage our government is causing students. I am begging you: do not give this bill royal assent. Do not let this be your legacy.
Earlier today, Alberta’s government announced that as teachers and students return to the classroom this week we will be taking immediate action to reduce class sizes and address classroom complexity.
We will be appointing a Class Size and Complexity Task Force, who will begin work in three important areas.
1️⃣ Collecting and publicly releasing class size and complexity data, which will help inform which classrooms are most in need of supports and resources.
2️⃣ Implement solutions from the final report of the Aggression and Complexity in Schools Action Team, which will be released soon.
3️⃣ Begin working with school boards, teachers, educational assistants to review and replace the 2004 Standards for Special Education.
Today we celebrated World Hijab Day! The energy was high and we loved embracing the beauty in the choice to wear a Hijab! There was opportunity for everyone to learn all about the Hijab! #balwinfamily
Brad Bartko spoke to staff and students today and was incredible! His story of resilience is inspirational but his message of allyship and change is our biggest take away. Thank you Brad for your leadership and passion for educating others on the topic of WE before ME.
Today was a great day for listening, learning and planning for more positive action against Racism and Discrimination. Our students did the hard work and prepared questions, our panelists delivered with their stories, information and advice.
Grade 6 students interviewing Her Honour, the Honourable Salma Lakhani as part of their experience with the #schoolatthelegislature program through the @LegAssemblyofAB. They asked inquisitive, thought-provoking questions and we couldn’t be more proud! #balwinfamily

@BalwinSchool Grade 5 and 6 had a great day at the @TWoSEdm solving mysteries, exploring space, and being chemists! Feels good to be out again, experiencing learning in an authentic, real-world way! #balwinfamily
@StarbucksCanada how come no one ever apologizes when a drink is made incorrectly? I get that you’re busy and it’s inconvenient but….I’m paying a lot of money, I think it’s fair I get what I want without being treated like I’m being unreasonable?
Balwin Staff started the year off by learning/playing Pickleball at The Center of Volleyball and Pickleball.
A few notes:
1) you can always learn something new!
2) Pickleball is for all ages
3) That center is run by generations of teachers
4) It feels good to be back together
@DavidStaplesYEG You regularly comment on our education system and rely on the advice of “experts” to support your beliefs, but have no firsthand knowledge of what actually happens, nor engage in meaningful conversation (listening) with actual teachers in your own city to become more informed.
We are so proud of our students and hope that they feel comfortable to be who they are at all times. Inclusion, kindness and love are so, so important. #balwinfamily
This Kindergarten student built a parking garage to practice writing and representing numbers! We are so proud of all the hard working students who are learning at home right now! #balwinfamily
