I taught my fiance how to Dougie in the snow for our annual snowograpghy challenge. ❄️🕺💃 ♥️ Encouraging my 'big kid' highschool students to really be kids again and to play in the snow with their families! Happy Family Day!

Dance is for everyBODY! My students and I spent Valentine's Friday talking about self-love and body positivity. We each wrote one thing we love about ourselves/ our bodies and displayed it on our doors to inspire other to do the same! ♥️🥰

Our advanced dance class spent #BlackShirtDay learning a dance style called Litefeet. Many of the dance styles that we study at @NorthSurreySec were created by the black community. We are grateful to be guests in street dance culture. 🖤✊🏾

Oh yes! Ms. Painchaud and students for the win! Always!
Reducing the spread of COVID-19 takes community effort. Thanks to North Surrey Secondary School grade 11/12 students in Ms. Painchaud’s Photography class for doing their part through art.
As case numbers in the Fraser Health region continue to explode, teachers want classroom sizes to be halved. @KierJunos reports on one teacher nervous about showing up to class, and the open letter directed at Premier John Horgan. bit.ly/3ptrDCD

Teachers in Surrey (safely) demonstrating what an actual Surrey classroom looks like, full of students. We are distressed that the media often shows a magical version of a class with only a few kids. This, in Fraser Health region where the covid numbers are spiking. #bctf #bced

If you want to avoid a return to hybrid learning, put pressure on the @bcndp govt to: -reduce class density/ size to facilitate physical distancing -implement a full mask mandate -improve school ventilation systems -target all Federal funds towards this purpose. #bced @bctf
“Hybrid learning is really difficult. It’s really difficult, particularly for our students that are most at risk... When you look at the benefit of having kids in school, it’s there and it’s worth it. I’m just not sure we need extra-curriculars right now.” #bced #bcpoli #COVID19

At @NorthSurreySec Dance, each of our students bring their own life experiences and intentions to the movements we create and perform. ♥️ This one is about perseverance and resilience - about rising from struggle. Stay tuned for our final Grade 8 Dance Video coming up next week!
