More random acts of kindness @WECFoundation Holy Names Cath.H.S. #RakDay

It's painfully obvious, I know—but it should *never* come down to recess versus academics. This piece is part of a research-based animation series I've been editing for edutopia. More coming soon! #playmatters

Yes, Social distancing is hard. You know what's harder? Getting ill, severely ill in some cases,watching people you love dying. We all need to do our part. No exceptions. No playdates, No playgrounds, No hanging out with friends, no dinner parties, no coffee with friends. Please!

Health and Physical Education is not gym. The gymnasium is one of the many locations where H&PE can happen and sports are one of the many activities that can be included in H&PE. We need to remember that learning in H&PE can look & work differently depending on the student.

Yes! Students need something to look forward to. Hoping we get to this point WECDSB this year!

Do me a favour AMERICA, tag a teacher you know and tell them to watch “mr.d” on Prime Video. If you are a teacher, please RT this. Here’s a clip....

Flight ✈️ $790 Bags 💼 $65 Covid Testing $267 Airport Parking $179 Gas⛽️to YYZ $60 Vacation days to travel 2 VS. Toll $12.75 (land border) The reality for those visiting family, partners & friends in 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 border towns. Reunification should not be limited to those w/💰.

As millions of parents languish without answers on school reopening, the minister of education has been super busy. This week alone he: ✅ Posed in field with sign ✅ Posed with box of muffins ✅ Posed with cup of coffee ✅ Posed with boxes of Panettone

Why are we sending teens back to high school for a week? They have not been ALLOWED BOOSTERS yet. They have what- 30% protection against covid right now? They will be with unmasked unvaxxed peers for lunch. Why not let them finish the semester online? #onted #schools #Boosters

If Ontario has decided that the only effort they'll make vs. COVID in schools is vaccination, where are 3rd doses for 12-18s? BA.2 wants to know.

OK, we'll bite

We are going into our 5th new model for the school day since Mar 2020 - and none of the 5 are what we did before - so 5th new model for us and 5th new model for our students. It's exhausting. #onted

BREAKING: 200+ Health workers from across Toronto stand UNITED in protecting access to healthcare for everyone. Treatment not trucks! Health not honking! Vaccines not vitriol! Health workers stand united. ✊🏾

Thank you to all those real truckers I see when I’m on the 401 every Sat/Sun morning at 7:30am. Not sleeping in, not with their families. Keeping shelves stocked for us. Kudos to you!

This is why sports are special. A basketball manager at Lake Hamilton School District who is special needs played on senior night. And both teams made it incredibly special. Amazing.

So proud of these students!

NEW HWDSB Chair Dawn Danko, welcomes@sflecce letter but says "Supporting staff&families during this phased approach...is our priority.We are reminding staff&students to wear a mask until April 1 and to exercise their choice by completing mask exemption process, if needed" #onted

After March Break, students are no longer required to wear masks at school, BUT masks are still necessary: ✈️ For 14 days after returning from travel outside of Canada 😷For 10 days after exposure to a household member who has COVID-19 symptoms or tested positive

Good morning, Detroit. Happy #OpeningDay!
