Recess Professional Development Session

Let's revamp recess in Toronto.
Imagine a classroom full of students refreshed and engaged. Imagine a recess without fear, anger, sadness, or rejection.
This IS possible.
Our educators are collaborating at a PD session with Lauren McNamara (www.recessprojectcanada.com) on how to approach recess in a new way, so that students return to the classroom ready to learn.
All Toronto teachers and principals are invited to sign up or learn more here: bit.ly/recessproject

Stronger Together
Suitcase Theatre is performing a play for JK to grade 6's on Tuesday, Oct 1st!
Suitcase Theatre is a charitable organization founded by the creator of Mr. Dressup. Their high-quality original musical productions carry messages of kindness, compassion, and overcoming obstacles together.
Stronger Together's message is that "Everyone’s path is unique. By understanding how someone else is feeling, students will learn to unlock the door to their own happiness and greater connections to others. The key? Togetherness!"
