Just a quick note to
say Thank you for
all of your hard work
yesterday! Hopefully
you can all get some
rest now! It was a
learning experience
indeed! So much
learning in many
capacities. Thank you!
Thanks to everyone
involved! It was a life
changing experience for
many of my students.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you!
On behalf of myself and the students who
attended yesterday's Day of Education for Truth
and Reconciliation I want to give a very heartfelt
THANK YOU to all of the organizers involved! It
was an incredible day full of rich opportunities
for learning, healing, and moving forward.
Every aspect was incredible. This was one of
the best events I have attended with students
and impacted all of us in a deep way. This was
education at its best and was well thought out,
well organized, and meaningful to participants.
I was very impressed with the education
students who facilitated the blanket exercise:
they brought learning forward in a clear and
respectful manner and handled students'
comments and questions with a lot of wisdom.
Our host student was excellent. I was so proud to
see students sharing about their lives with such
maturity. My students also loved the lunch, and
I was very grateful for the resources supplied to
us, which will benefit our entire school.
Fantastic. I am so proud of all of the work that
was done yesterday, and was honored to be a
part of what took place.
