School is for growth, risk-taking, collaboration, creation, inquiry, character building, excitement and passion. School is learning how to learn. #peel21st #peeleml #hillsidesinspires Mr. Pryce Lori Haeney Jim Brooks Michael D Miller

Families, students and staff from clarksonchargers and Hillside PS are being provided with these tips on how to cope with emotional stress given the passing of a 14yo boy in their community. Be kind to yourselves and each other today and always. 💙

Students & staff who'd like to speak to a counsellor/social worker during the school day will be able to do so. We also have Boo, our therapy dog, joining us. Our thoughts continue to be with Riley’s family and friends at this difficult time. 💙

Have you ever used a dip pen? It’s not as easy as you might think. Today we experimented with these pens & ink and talked about how different writing tools have evolved over time & we thought about how we might use them in our art. #hillsideinspires #elementaryart

Okay, quick explanation of why the arts are just as important as STEM. No, it’s not because rich people things lead to networking opportunities. It’s because of how the brain develops. You’ll understand public ed better than most politicians in a few seconds. <thread> 🧵👇

Spirit days can=exclusion & privilege. I asked all students & staff to be my twin for ‘twin day’. Make your own or use one of the templates I created. Lots of laughs & I felt 💕 when I had so many twins in the building! Join us & include everyone! bit.ly/36KjfY0
