Thank you @STEMatSaunders & @SaundersOne for encouraging our children to lean more about the world, their place, rights and responsibilities within it. The program/school has sparked new interests, problem solving skills and great dinner time conversation. Thank you!

Wanna know the coolest part?!? My kid just stopped the video that @kerryday25 posted and walked me through his group canvas! Thank you for providing him with an organizational tool he can take with him (we could use the help!😉).

I know a few #wild graduates that holds this experience near and dear to their hearts. I know this program showed one @TVDSB Ss she is strong, she is capable... So @erinmutch , when does the next generation register?!?
