Set a personal record this week. Made 6 school visits in one day! I am always blown away at how dedicated our teachers and principals are to our students. Thank you superintendent Robinson-Petrazzini! Our students are so lucky to have you. I dont know where you find the energy. All of this on a 5 minute lunch!

Lest we forget. It was an honour to lay a wreathe at the Scarborough Civics Center Remembrance Day ceremony. Thank you for your service.

Had the honour of speaking to the graduates of Sir Oliver Mowat CI last night. Congratulations to the Class of 2019!

As trustees we might not agree on everything. But, I am pretty sure we can all agree, witnessing our students graduate getting is one of the best things we get to do!

Had a great time this weekend at the Young Peoples Threatres "Children, Youth, and Performance Conference". Thank you to all the amazing panelists.

Look who I ran into at the West Rouge PS fun fair!

Started our May board meeting with a Bang! Our very own William G. Miller PS treated us to some Burundian drumming!

These are difficult times and your voice is important. Please do come out!

Sometimes we all can feel a little like Shrek! Thank you West Rouge JPS for inviting me to an incredible production of Shrek! Was blown away by the caliber of the show.

Had a great time at Rouge Valley Public School Spring Concert. This is why arts funding matters!

Had an amazing time at William G. Millers Spring Fair. I was blown away at what all the parents and staff were able to put together. A fun night for all!

Had a wonderful time this week at the Teaching in Focus Conference. The best teachers are those who strive to continuously learn (and recognizing we are all in process) Those who understand to teach is to learn. Learning to teach, teaching to learn.

One of the most important moments of my tenure so far was attending the rally for education. I imagine this to be just the prelude to what is to come.

To hear my thoughts on the proposed cuts to education here is a Podcast I did with the Toronto Family Show. It goes to the full 32 minutes (so dont mind the music interludes). https://www.stitcher.com/po/toronto-family-show/e/59854585

Thank you William G. Miller PS for having me at your special production of Willa Wonka. Sorry, Charlie, I think its me who won the golden ticket!

Thank you Safe and Caring School for the comprehensive tour of your Scarborugh facilities and the amazing work you do for our students who need a bit more care. It was a a great pleasure to speak to teachers, students and your staff! Hopefully we are able support you in your work.

Couldnt think of a better way to spend #internationalwomensday! Had the pleasure of speaking to the amazing young women at John G. Diefenbaker PS! Thank you for inspiring!
