This week at @SimondsUConnect we are hosting a kindness challenge. Yesterday's theme was kindness to others. Love watching our students brainstorm and share their ideas together. #KindnessMatters

Many thanks to our staff and students who wore orange today in remembrance of the 215+ children that did not return from the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Additionally, thank you to our community for creating further opportunities for this learning to continue.

Today the last long-term boil water advisory for a First Nations community in #BC has been lifted. After 15 years Semiahmoo First Nation finally has what many people in #BC take for granted – safe drinking water.

Love this!!
Yesterday evening I received my Covid-19 vaccine. Then I went to a frozen lake to dance Bhangra on it for joy, hope and positivity, which I'm forwarding across Canada and beyond for everyone's health and wellbeing.
Yesterday I received this thoughtful surprise in the inter-school mail with no sender attached. As I embrace and start to lean into 2021 with intention and gratitude I am reminded that we are in this together! My heart bursts! #gratitude #kindness

"Misbehaviour" is often a sign that a child has too many stressors in their lives. A more accurate term would be "stress behaviour". This can lead to a more compassionate response. 😊 Free download: northstarpaths.com #ChildHonouring @RaffiFoundation @Self_Reg #SelfReg
