I am looking forward to reconnecting, seeing great teacher content, and engaging in valuable dialogue.
Threads was a massive letdown as an alternative space, and I hope 🦋 isn't the same.
I would love to focus my feed on local middle school experiences and Canadian podcasting content.

I run into many former students at the gym. I love catching up w/ them & hearing what they are now up to - 5, 10, even 15 yrs later.
My favourite question is always, “How do you remember me?”
Sometimes it’s tough to recall but when I do remember it brings them so much joy! 🥹

Our Girls STEAM Team is busy working on their replica global monuments to get ready for STEM Night in a few weeks!
Rather than simply presenting their builds to families, they’ve developed STEM challenges to accompany their work in order to engage their visitors!

Bhagat Puran Singh was a Sikh humanitarian who dedicated his life to helping the sick and the homeless. His work teaches us that solidarity means taking care of those in need.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Sikh Guru, taught Sikhs to be fearless in the face of injustice. He said, “Recognize all of humanity as one” and encouraged people to defend the rights of all. When we see bullying, racism, or injustice, we have the power to stand up and speak out!
