There really couldn’t be a better team than this to pull off a ⁦@WestminsterCent⁩ special “end-of-year/ end-of-an-era” celebration! Thank you to Kate, Michelle, Pam, Andrea, Chaynika & our fabulous staff for such an amazing night! Staff from 50 years ago showed up! 💗💗

The final grad at @WestminsterCent was a beautiful ceremony. I’m lucky to have been part of this school for 18 years, including w these wonderful students (when I wasn’t off on leave). I wish them all the best for their high school years and beyond. w/Ms. Battista MrStoicovici

Multi-coloured boa feathers in a roughly-gathered pile, undisturbed by wind, along the entranceway of the hotel at which I am staying? Uhhh, yes please @ The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto instagram.com/p/ChUJIB_uGBQ/…

So good.

As part of our gratitude reflection (and inspired by SoulPancake’s ‘the science of happiness’), students wrote letters to express their thanks to the people who have positively impacted their lives. If expressing gratitude makes one happier, there is a lot of joy in the mail!

I loved teaching FDK and a HUGE part of that was the chance to work alongside some really incredible Early Childhood Educators. They deserve every praise and a huge raise! Thank you to the ECEs - we neeeeed you! #ECEAppreciationDay

And there it is - the real reason Stephen Lecce and Doug Ford are doing this. This has been the goal of the Ontario PC Party for a while now. This is about dismantling one of the top education systems in the world. #onted

If Doug Ford & Stephen Lecce think that they are on the right side of history they are living in an echo chamber. The propaganda that is being churning out by Ontario PC Press tells a tale of insecurity. But this display of solidarity from OPFFA is absolutely amazing! #RepealBill28

Looked thru the "Better Schools & Student Outcomes" Act. The words Literacy, Math, & Reading appear ONE time. The words Power, Sale, Lease, Property, appear 11-21 times! Ford + Lecce making the rich richer again. Call your MPP! #onted #onpoli ontariocanada.com/registry/view.…

On the 27th straight day of filming “Forrest Gump,” Tom Hanks was tired & worried. During a scene on the famous park bench, Hanks stopped & said to director Bob Zemeckis, “Hey, Bob…is anybody going to care about this movie? I don’t think anybody’s going to care.” Bob replied,

“Although I’ve seen Minister Lecce quite a bit on social media and in media interviews, he hasn't seen fit to reach out to me in person for a meeting in two years. And I’ve only spoken with the Premier twice. Facts matter. And good faith bargaining matters!” #onpoli

I doubt he will listen, but I am glad that I had the opportunity to say directly to his face what many people are feeling.

Ongoing attacks on 2SLGBTQ+ communities are incredibly alarming and harmful to all of us. I add my voice as president to say no to hate. ETFO stands in solidarity with students, families, and educators in the protection of 2SLGBTQ+ rights. Don’t let hate spread! #onpoli #cdnpoli

“Institutions like school boards and universities should refuse to use their power to assess or erase the validity and faithfulness of queer and trans people of faith…in this case, queer people (especially children) who are also of a minority faith.”

Thank you @OCETFO members for joining us on Thursday Sept 21st #TBTN #OCETFO Take Back The Night® Elementary Educators

This is a disturbing lack of sensitivity. 😔

Dave from Alberta, again our Northern neighbours. Before we embark on another day of fighting for the end of our Alberta Government’s black ops blackout advertising operation to ruin hockey broadcasts across the nation, a little background. Unlike Dave from Canmore, I have

Retired #onted teachers are set to recieve a 4.8% boost to their pensions come January. Obviously, they deserve annual cola adjustments, but considering they'll have received 14.5% since 2020, current teachers need to be livid. Why are we worth less? #etfo #osstf #oecta #aefo

Late yesterday afternoon, the UCP gravy train hit full speed. Let me explain. 🧵

This thread is about Alberta but very applicable to Ontario’s education system, too.
