I am looking forward to reconnecting, seeing great teacher content, and engaging in valuable dialogue.
Threads was a massive letdown as an alternative space, and I hope 🦋 isn't the same.
I would love to focus my feed on local middle school experiences and Canadian podcasting content.

We built these race cars 🚘 with our STEAM TEAM, and my room is running out of quality space to display them, so we got clever and maximized this space just below the ceiling!
There are still tons of 👀 looking and fingers pointing as they say their projects are on the wall!

From a “behaviour class” and English grade 12 dropout to an award-winning writer.
Some of us are late bloomers in the academic space - and for that reason, this award brings me great pride!

I tip my cap 🧢 to the team, which committed to 8 practices a week for a month to improve their game and compete for a banner.
They put in the work, improved immensely, and played phenomenal volleyball. Unfortunately, we lost today in the quarter-finals to end our season.
