I love how she reframes these spiral of inquiry questions: 1. Can every parent identity 2 educators that are listening with curiosity and empathy and who really believe in their child’s success? 2. What are WE learning about and why is it important?

Thank you to Anona for being our keynote speaker to start off KVR’s 3rd Wellness Day ♥️ Anona shared a Syilx perspective on wellness and the importance of connecting to the one, reciprocity and gratitude 🌸

PSS students planned and facilitated 30 sessions for Wellness Day. This was the Walk and Talk session, I was blown away by the thought and care that went into these questions for students to chat with their partners about. Seeing former students as inspiring leaders warms my ♥️

Knowing your students is one thing. Your students knowing they are known, that is something entirely different. For some scholars knowing they are seen, valued, and cared for makes the impossible possible, makes the excluded included, and makes the inequitable equitable.

Today is the hardest day of the year. Saying goodbye after building community and making connections is my least favourite part of the job. Today I had to say goodbye to a beautiful group of humans as they journey onto high school. Oh the places they will go ♥️

So important

Amazing turnout for the Vancouver counter protest in the name of LGBTQ2S+ rights and inclusive ed. Some of our favourite signs ❤️ 🌈 #TransRightsAreHumanRights
