We are so honoured to be listening to pitches today from the amazing design thinking teams at @wrdsb Groh P.S Groups have been working to understand how they might improve the experience of newcomers to the community…the results are blowing us away! @Neilsonj9 @schaeferjen 🔥

Sikh children now have the option of wearing a helmet that fits them properly, thanks to a Brampton mom. Tina Singh, an occupational therapist, couldn't find a suitable helmet for her boys, so she's created her own.

Was honoured to be invited to be interviewed by @grohjenjes’s Grade 7 class yesterday as part of the design thinking project they are working on to help improve the experiences of newcomers to Canada and our community. This is the power of student voice in action. #WeAreWRDSB

Such a treat to speak with these compassionate and critical thinkers @growrdsb this morning as they worked on their design thinking projects to support newcomers in @wrdsb schools and communities. Many of them have lived experience as newcomers to Canada.

Oh how I love this article. Maybe it is time to stop blaming the pandemic for unmotivated and disengaged students and start owning the fact that an archaic education system is the cause. https://t.co/FhocAGZNF0 via @Getting_Smart

During today's blended learning day to help prepare for #destreaming next year, @WCIinfo teachers participated in workshops on the #thinkingclassroom. Facilitators: @physicswithmcp, @gingerich_c, @kylebishop2 and me 1/n

To the kind bus angel who found my son’s wallet and delivered it to @wci today, you have reminded me that there is still some really good people in the world. Thank you so much. #payitforward @GRT_ROW @citywaterloo

Update: The first doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for kids between the ages of 5 and 11 have arrived. We’ll have 2.9 million doses in the country by the end of the week - that’s enough for every eligible child to get their first shot. So please, get your kids vaccinated.

Next week is Treaties Recognition Week (November 1-7). The purpose of this dedicated week is to honour the importance of treaties and help Ontarians learn more about treaty rights, treaty relationships and their role as treaty people. #IndigenousWRDSB

Thank you Mrs. Sugrim for teaching us how to bead to honour Orange Shirt Day and remind us that Every Child Matters.

Today we raise the #Pride flag, alongside the Canadian flag, in support of #PrideMonth. We also raise the flag to act as a visual reminder that our school environments, physically and distantly, are safe spaces for everyone that connects with our schools and staff. 🏳️‍🌈 #WRDSBpride

Every Canadian needs to see @Ginella_M speak these words of power ✊🏾. #OurLondonFamily https://t.co/hgo9oHWCJC

Grade 7 students share what they feel they have "lost" by learning in a pandemic. Not one student listed "math", "literacy" or content skills.
