We wore pink today as a reminder of our work in bullying prevention and awareness at High Park. Our hearts are bigger, our community stronger, we belong here together!#standupforeachother @LKDSB

With SpaceX being such a current event, it seems timely for our 6/7 class to display their models! #scienceiscool @LKDSB @LKelempro

This is why we love what we do ..#noellesgift #GrowUpGreat #SmashHit

Spread some kindness: Hold a door open, smile from a distance, say hello, let someone go before you in line, call a friend, send a ‘thinking of you’ text, offer your time, leave a little note for a coworker or peer What impact are you going to make on the world today?

Through the halls this morning, we heard the wonderful voice of @MsGambleLKDSB reading David A Robertson’s When We Were Alone. The story and discussion are so vital in our quest for reconciliation. Miigwech for this opportunity @LKelempro @LKDSB

Please join us in this vital learning!

Our school was all together today. This is our motto this year, we are proud panthers! @LKDSB @LKelempro

Transitions are so important in building relationships. A check in such as how are you feeling? Je me sens... lets students know we care and helps with self awareness.

It has been so awesome to welcome students back to their school. We look forward to learning together!
