The First Day of School
Can you believe that tomorrow, August 8th, is our first day of school for the 2019-2020 school year?

The first day of school is full of emotions, for students and teachers alike. We may have feelings of excitement, nervousness, anticipation, eagerness… how are you feeling? What are you looking forward to the most as we jump into this new year? Let's spark a digital conversation.
Please comment on this blog below with your personal insights!

Quick Tips for Wellness!

Mindfulness Course
Jack Bissonnette has shared a link to a Mindfulness Course that you may find interesting!
“This course was recommended to me by a friend and I thought it may be a cool resource
for those interested in exploring the introductory stages of understanding mindfulness. 
It does not look to be education or classroom oriented so it may be better suited for
personal development rather than professional.”
