Dismiss gifted programming? If you are in ##education & question it, PLEASE READ. Understand what it means to be #gifted. Parents, don’t make your child study for the gifted test. (There are many academic programs out there for high achievers.) 1/3 m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5…

Being challenged is just one aspect, they perceive the world so differently. “Giftedness is nothing to be proud of ...” “It just means my son is wired differently. It’s an inherent trait, a special need actually, that comes with a whole host of worries.” 2/3

They all present differently. Instead of thinking it’s some elitist program, do your research. I am grateful everyday for the peers they have found. 3/3

GOOD SAMARITAN DRUG OVERDOSE ACT Don't run. Call 911. Overdose witnesses and victims who seek emergency help will not be charged with drug possession. If you see someone overdosing, stay with them and call for help. Details: bit.ly/3gxsmi7 youtu.be/lBA6eDqexVM

It was in my gr.8 yr (90/91) @HDSB that I had a teacher show us the film “Where the Spirit Lives”. I will never forget the affect it had on me. The Residential Schools were still open and running at this time. 1/

The first film ever created about Residential Schools was directed and produced by white men/women. Does it still have merit? I hope so. It’s because of this film that I learned and researched 🇨🇦 history... 2/

It’s because of this film that I talked to my children about #ResidentialSchools It’s because of this film that I was able to speak against the racist remarks of Indigenous People. And it’s because if this film that I will never forget that #EveryChildMatters
