June 2021 Recap

What a month.  I have learned and felt so much:

• SADNESS: learning more of the true horrors of Residential Schools,
• JOY: chatting with so many wonderful people about education,
• INSPIRATION: from Edmonton Public School’s new Anti-racism and Equity Policy,
• TRAGEDY: hearing of cowardly acts of racism,
• CELEBRATION: Pride Month and Indigenous History Month
• ACCOMPLISHMENT: how students, parents & caregivers, teachers, administrators, custodial and support staff all came together to complete this challenging year,

… AND dealing with some unbelievably hot weather!  It reminded me of my year in Texas!  I will be adding a hot weather policy to my Trustee to-do list!

Through all of this, I feel so certain and pleased to be on this journey running for Trustee.  EDUCATION is pivotal to advancing our ways of knowing and ways of being, on a path towards tolerance, collaboration, creative thinking and problem solving.
