Students from our Life Skills Program have taken ownership in digging up our farm potatoes. They are at a couple hundred pounds of spuds at this point. Some of them will be entering the workforce soon and will be awesome paid employees.Toronto District School Board TDSB CCEL D & M Thomson C.I.

Hello patient CCEL teachers; the cost centres will be shared within the next day or so. Thanks for your patience as I know you are all eager to get going. Looking forward to seeing all the amazing projects!

An exciting day yesterday during the Secondary Skills competition. Students were engaged and engrossed in all things Skills - so great to see! @autoservicetech @compmanufacturing @precisionmachine Joanna Borns

Thank you Jen from Parkside Elementary for showing me some of the CCEL work you’ve started, and hearing about future plans. Always great to see students engaged and having fun! treesap @chefsintheschool @outdoorconnections

A very exciting day at the Elementary Skills Competition. Students were fully engaged in developing an airplane launcher that would get their paper airplane the furthest. Stay tuned for which group accomplished this the best.

Congratulations to Avondale PS, Presteign Heights PS and and Bruce PS who have made it onto Provincials for Skills - some pretty cool airplane launchers were created. And congrats to all the schools who participated!

This morning at Eastview PS, students began making Indigenous Ribbon skirts, a symbol of resiliency, survival and identity and are unique to each individual. Workshops were led by Suzanne Smoke. Curious to see the end product? Stay tuned… Denise De Paola TDSB_EL Eastview PS

More cool photos of the Secondary Skills competition. For teachers thinking of applying to CCEL again next year, this would be a great field trip with a follow up activity/competition of your own - so many ways to promote the trades! TDSB_EL Denise De Paola TDSB 🍏 OYAP 🛠
