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. bit.ly/3Ctpy1G

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.

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 wrdsb.social/3BjjiGn

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

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