So proud of our grade 7/8 students @magLRSD. They researched and planned an assembly and workshops for the whole school for Indigenous People’s Day. They showed leadership, thoughtfulness and respect through their learning and actions.
Great job by @jobohemier and our grade 7/8 leadership team @magLRSD . Bravo!
Yesterday, because of the help of eleven schools in the Louis Riel School Division, we received a donation of 10,000 hygiene items!
Thank you for helping fill this urgent need for members of the community. Your donation will make a HUGE difference 😊

Recently finished Izzy at the End of the World by K.A. Reynolds. Aliens, grief, adventure, friendship and family collide in this middle grade novel. Mysterious lights flash one night and everyone except Izzy and her dog disappear. Who is responsible? Can she find the others?
Recently finished A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson. Saw a lot of kids reading this one, so gave it a try. Decent murder mystery novel, but nothing that really stood out.

I’ve done Indigenous, Women’s history, Africain and Black history so far in the library this year. Sikh heritage, Asian heritage and Pride to go. Could complaints be lodged against me by someone who opposes these themes? Teachers should not be in danger for teaching.
Kids do need to be protected, but the wording of Bill 35 needs to be more specific.
In today's political climate, the current wording could lead to complaints against teachers for incorporating LGBTQ+ content in class, a frivolous and harmful complaint.

Provincial government putting a target on teacher’s backs while retention, burnout and recruitment are huge issues is baffling. Is this really the priority with all the poverty, pandemic after affects and mental health issues facing our students?

After reading Pas Moi by Élise Gravel, students decorated socks to leave in the library. This student did a sock with my face 😂. My job is the best 😊.

Recently finished How You Grow Wings by Rimma Onoseta. Realistic fiction YA novel about two sisters whose lives take different paths. A story about privilege, colonialism, cycles of abuse and colourism. The story comes together in an unexpected way at the end.

Taking Teacher-librarians, Student Services teachers and administrators out of their roles to cover for a lack of substitute teachers is not a sustainable solution. It impacts students and staff in a multitude of ways and takes its toll on the people who are continually covering.
