I was on supervision today in a class that I had been a mystery reader not too long ago. An S finished her lunch & asked that I read the class a book. She chose one & then another. We only stopped bc the bell rang & made a promise to read more next time. #connection #booklove

Today I greeted a student by name in the hallway and asked how his day was going. S: How do you know my name? Me: I know lots of you, names are something I remember S: Good for you, this is a big school and that’s a lot of names to know #kidsnotice #connection #littlethings

It may be cloudy outside but it’s all smiles under the mask!☺️Officially triple vaxxed! SEPH - KFLA Public Health drive-thru clinic for the win.💉💉💉Huge thanks to the hundreds of volunteers making this happen.🙏🏻

A beautiful day for the return to in-person learning Amherstview PS!😎 Me to Ss coming off the bus: Welcome back! S: Welcome back to you too. Kids are the best! ❤️ #connection #ygk

Some days are good, some days are not and some are in between. No matter what the day, outside is always my happy place. It’s ok not to be ok. #BellLetsTalk #BellCause LDSB Wellbeing

Today I got to go on a trip to the aquarium, see some beautiful Barbara Reid inspired artwork, hear kindness messages that Ss wrote & was asked if I was taking online classes by an S who saw a meeting open on my computer. These are the days my friends.💛 #sharethegood

So grateful for a pup who gets me out and a trail to walk on! What a beautiful day, I felt like I was looking a painting (and of course, had to snap a pic!😉). #getoutside #wellness #winterwonderland #ygk

I was outside today speaking w a family & a Kinder student arrived. The Kinder S asked if I could bring her in & I said I would in a few minutes bc I was helping another student. She said helping was caring & sharing is caring & gave me a hug. #knowyourwhy #connection

A glorious 17 degrees on March 17th!! #wellness #springisintheair #carpediem😎☀️🌲

Happy 1st day of spring! It’s a rainy one here in #ygk but that didn’t stop the robins from being out or the spring flowers from blooming!🌷#hopespringseternal #spring2022

A beauty sunset tonight. Here’s hoping it is a sign of good things to come! And yes, the pic is a bit messy with construction but I see this as a sign of growth and renewal.🌷🌿🌅#ygk #hope #spring2022

Thank you to Mme Camille & Mme Dayna’s Kinder class for filling my bucket this morning. It may be a bit chilly outside but it’s all spring inside Amherstview PS. Thoughtful provocations that led to beautiful, innovative spring creations and plans for collaborative basketball games!✨

A sure sign of spring Amherstview PS - the first dandelion bouquet of the season & a happy and proud gifter/collector! Supervision = connection time.💖🌼 #JoyfulLeaders

Today I got invited to build a 3D heart, go to an in-class restaurant (with $10 to spend!) and hear students choosing to speak French at recess with their peers. #engagement #fsl #indoorrecess #connection

Grateful for so many things big and small this week - amazing students and staff, my admin partner Mrs.VanderSchoor and the wonderful school community Amherstview PS!💚💛🐊 #JoyfulLeaders

Sometimes you take one for the team. Today’s one was delicious and all in support of Terry Fox Foundation! So proud of the Amherstview PS community for raising over $2000! #gogatorsgo #JoyfulLeaders💚💛🐊

Today started with a treat & ended with the successful search for a beloved stuffy and lots of sweet moments in between. Ss asking for a calming break, staff sharing the success of a new resource & making plans for a staff vs student vball game.🏐📚💛#littlethings #sharethejoy

We had a secret messenger (or messengers 🤔) who left end of day messages for staff Amherstview PS today! So grateful for our school community who embrace the motto “Sharing is caring”.💚💛 #KindessMatters #sharethegood #community

The end of a great day! How to beat the heat Gator-style Amherstview PS! Thanks to our School Advisory Council for organizing, our community partners for supporting & our families for attending! #JoyfulLeaders 💚💛

It was all Green & Gold for my last day as a Gator Amherstview PS! Thank you to students & staff for an amazing 6 years! One student imparted some good advice “You will be a good principal at your new school. If you don’t get something right, that’s ok, just try again”💚💛🐊
