Oh, and MUJI pens and the "see through" highlighters.
(only yellow). Apparently Sharpie makes highlighters in this style.

THIS is my favourite:
writes like a dream, made from recycled bottles and everyone tries to steal it. Thankfully they are refillable although I "lost" one last year.

I must be a real outlier. I have never carried a backpack - even as a kid. I did get one of these, though, because I had to change classrooms. Game changer! (and, yes, the lid too - extra writing surface) It's metal, not plastic.

Our school namesake, Marc Garneau, passed away yesterday. He was 76. Dr. Garneau was the first Canadian astronaut. He visited his namesake school almost every year. His last visit here was a year ago. May he rest in peace and touch the stars.

March is Greek heritage month at TDSB. March 25th is a double holiday: the annunciation of the Virgin Mary and the start of the Greek war of Independence. If we were in Greece, this would be a holiday!

March is Greek Heritage month at the TDSB. One of the most recognizable Greek dishes is baklava - a phyllo and nut dessert covered in syrup. This version is called "politiko" (from the 'poli') but traditionalists do not put icing. Any nut can be used. Walnut is common because it's the cheapest.

March is Greek Heritage month at the TDSB. There is a saying in Greek, "there is no March without Lent". To help kids count down the 7 weeks of Lent, they can use "Mrs. Sarakosti" She has 7 feet, one for each week of Lent.
