Time spent in one of our schools is always time well spent. Today it was @highburylrsd.bsky.social with thanks to those who supported some insightful and welcome conversation🙂

Save the date! CJS is hosting its second annual Black History Month Night Market on Feb. 12.

🖤❤️💚 Happy Kwanzaa! Today begins seven days of celebrating. Wishing everyone who celebrates a season filled with unity, purpose, and joy.

On this day, we pause to remember and honour the millions who perished in the Holodomor, the Ukrainian famine-genocide of 1932-33 — a deliberate act of starvation.

52 Ways to Reconcile is an easy-to-read guide for non-Indigenous people eager to learn, or Indigenous people eager to do more in our collective effort towards reconciliation. Written by WPGer and teacher, David A. Robertson. HS Paul School is fulfilling the 52nd suggestion. We are sharing the book!

Congratulations to @niakwalrsd.bsky.social on your 50th Anniversary, @bonavistalrsd.bsky.social on your open house, and to the @pennerlrsd.bsky.social community for exceeding your fundraising goal for @terryfoxresearch.bsky.social! It was nice to be at all of these events. @louisrielsd.bsky.social
