What a great turn out for the TDSB Chinese Heritage Month Author Reading Event! We were very fortunate to have Author Sennah Yee read two of her picture books: My Day with Gong Gong, Lin’s Lucky Red Envelope. Students were asking her a lot of good questions during the Q&A period.

RT @tdsb: Ramadan Mubarak to our Muslim community! May this holy month bring you peace, blessings and joy.

If people are of one heart, even losses can become gold.

When you drink from the stream, remember the spring.

A book holds a house of gold.

Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid of standing still.

Fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers.

A good book is like a good friend.

Teachers can lead you to the door, but success only comes through hard work.

One smile undoes a thousand worries.

In attendance at the Chinese Heritage Month Launch and Lunar New Year Celebration: TDSB Chair Neethan Shan; Director Clayton La Touche; Associate Director Leola Pon; LC2 Executive Superintendent Elizabeth Addo; FOS 11 Superintendent Peter Chang; AY Jackson SS Principal Nick Rowe.

Just as distance tests a horse’s strength, time reveals a person’s true character.

If a jade is not cut and polished, it can’t be made into anything.

Celebrating 2025 Chinese Heritage Month🧧Thank you to AY Jackson Secondary School for hosting the launch event again this year! Thank you to our Director, Associate Director, Superintendents, and Centrally Assigned Principals for being there to celebrate this significant event!

An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold may not buy an inch of time.

No pain, no gain

Practice what you preach.

Among a group of three, there will be a teacher I can learn from.
