Celebrating 100 years @TrafalgarPS tonight! A wonderful event put on by staff and Principal @MrTuckerEd to showcase the incredible history of this beautiful school. It was so great & meaningful to be back in those halls, seeing such amazing people from the past! @TVDSB

Tonight Riverside hosted our first Heritage Carousel for our school community. We had traditional food, dances, clothing, information, and music - it was a wonderful evening of togetherness, celebration, & connection. @TVDSB

This weekend is the local Oakridge Pride event, and Ss at Riverside had the opportunity at recess yesterday to come to the gym & create posters of love, support, and pride. Beautiful messages & pictures were created. #ramsrock

"MASLOW BEFORE BLOOM" simply means that basic human needs need to be addressed before learning can occur. If a student is hungry, tired, or scared—give them food, a nap, or a hug. It seems so simple. It is simple. It is also very effective. #MaslowBeforeBloom

Never stop. ❤️

Hello grade 2! Incredible work going on @Riverside_PS with results to show it & guide our next moves in instruction. #directinstruction #ramsrock @buildershe

Wishing @jenwalkeraj and Ms. Wade a very happy Administrative Professionals Day. We would be absolutely lost without your incredible humour, kindness, care for us, and professionalism in all you do! @Riverside_PS is a lucky school to have you both!

Tonight at our staff meeting we filled each other’s plates with kindness & care. It’s important to make room for appreciation & valuing each other. At one point it was silent as colleagues thought deeply about each other. #ramsrock @Riverside_PS

A new kindergarten imagination station evolved today, and I couldn’t be more honoured! #ramsrock @MrsvanHees @Riverside_PS

So fortunate to have Leroy from @luso_london come to the Riverside staff meeting this week. Building cultural & racial capacity & thinking about our blind spots; recognition allows us to work towards building inclusive relationships across our school. #ramsrock @TVDSBSafeSchool

It’s been a very full six weeks! Grateful for all the amazing hard work of the @Riverside_PS staff, ensuring learning needs are met & students are supported every way possible! #ramsrock

Super excited for the day ahead, reading some incredible books with the students of @Riverside_PS for #worldreadaloudday2023! #fortheloveofreading @TVDSBLiteracy

A little winter fun! ❄️A student brought a snow ducky maker to school today and everyone lined up to make them at recess. We had little snow ducks all over the yard! These two duckies were lovingly named Cheese and Quakers! #ramsrock

Wishing the Riverside and @tvdsb community a very happy & healthy 2023!

#dailyhighlight was this morning’s start to the day! #Santa #happyholidays

#dailyhighlight today came from a heartfelt note from a parent who recently moved his family to Canada. Knowing they feel welcome & settled at Riverside means everything. ❤️

#dailyhighlight today was the pride I felt as the Principal of @Riverside_PS as I watched @TamaraReesx lead our choir at the @tvdsb board meeting tonight. Not many dry eyes in the room & a well deserved standing ovation. Bravo!

#dailyhighlight x2… Olaf visited me today & Mrs. MacKinnon made it the Merriest Monday at @Riverside_PS!

No need to look any further, #dailyhighlight is @matt_lynds dressed as an elf!

#dailyhighlight: just before going on stage for our K-3 concert, someone was feeling quite nervous; what did @TamaraReesx do? Got him up dancing! Way to go Ms. Rees - finding ways to bring out the love of music & performance in all! #maslowbeforebloom
