École Sainte-Catherine, Pain Court

December 11, 2014

Where is Pain Court? Right next to Chatham – where I visited École Sainte-Catherine  & Ste-Marie.  Two schools/One Day.  Great day at both schools!  Kindly keep the cold away on my next visit!

École Frère-André

December 10, 2013

I returned to the Providence French School Board today at École Frère-André.  An excellent student audience and great parent turnout this evening.  Great when Principals from other schools attend to hear the message and support parents also!

 

 

Aberarder ES, Plympton

December 9, 2013

My first visit to the Plympton area, and Aberarder Elementary School – off the cold shores of Lake Huron.  Thanks for a great day at your school – your students were very attentive.. and thanks to the parents who braved the cold to attend this evening.

The Week Ahead

December 7, 2013

Up next!  South Western Ontario (again) for four days!  Keep the slush away!

San Marco CES, YCDSB

December 6, 2013

Friday afternoon brought me to San Marco CES.  Another rare Friday that I speak, but the Principal wanted a presentation before the school break.  It was a great session with the Grade 6/7/8s, and we went into overtime, with all the Q&A.   Thank You for having me speak to your students!

Knoxdale ES & Greenbank Middle School

December 5, 2013

Over 500 students today, in two great sessions.  Excellent parent turnout this evening – well done Parent Council!  Thanks for a great day at your school, and a awesome way to end off the week in Ottawa!

“That was awesome” – Teacher, Knoxdale ES

“I have never seen the grade 7/8s so attentive” – Teacher, Greenbank Middle School

John XXIII, CES

December 4, 2013

From Ottawa to Arnprior and a visit to John XXIII CES.  Thankfully the Ice Storm was over-hyped!  Thank You to this wonderful community for allowing me to speak to your students and parents.  The parents had a great sense of humour, and we hit the 120min mark! No-one wanted to leave.  I love that!

Roberta Bondar ES

December 3, 2013

A large school with two awesome groups today.  The grade 7/8 audience has the presence of two Ottawa Police Officers in attendance (I would like to thank them for their support). Great support from the parents this evening.  Thank You for having me at your school!

 

St Andrew CES

December 2, 2013

First order of business in December is my trek to Ottawa and St Andrew CES. And a great day it was!  We reached our capacity seating this evening for parents!  A big Thank You to the young lady in grade 5 who made a Rainbow Loom for me tonight while her mom was learning!  Both student groups had great questions – and went home with a message that had more parents show up than expected!

St Davids, CES

November 29, 2013

It’s Friday! Yes – I spoke on a Friday!  I visited St Davids to update the Grade 7/8s on a topic so near and dear to them.  Very rewarding to be remembered from two years ago, and to have so many great questions.  Thank You!
