Derry West Village

In our first week of our @Soles4Souls shoe drive, @DWVPS has collected 93 pairs of shoes (not my photo). Keep up the great work, let’s see how many pairs we can donate this upcoming week. Our shoe drive ends May 10th.

Tomorrow is International Day of Pink, some schools will recognize the day on Apr 11 and participate in a board wide event. We stand with the Two-Spirit LGBTQIA+ community and will continue to speak up against bullying, discrimination, and all forms of homophobia & transphobia.

April is #EarthMonth which is a month to celebrate our planet! Earth Month continues the Earth Day movement, which began in the United States in the early 1970s 🌎💚

@DWVPS honoured and recognized Remembrance Day with making symbols of peace. Thank you @Anup_Sidhu for such a beautiful way to remember those who gave up their lives for our freedom. @PeelSchools @AlkaPSingh

“Did you bring your imagination?” Asked by a @DWVPS Kindergarten student. The best question I’ve heard in a long time! @greyjanssen @Anup_Sidhu @PeelSchools @AlkaPSingh

Just a few of our new books that are ready to be checked out tomorrow during our open book exchange. Graphic novels and new Manga series @DWVPS

A new station with new alternative seating was introduced today in our LLC. Silent reading was the most popular station today!

A few of our learning stations this week - LEGO, writing/drawing, trains, and loose parts. There are a few other stations that our students can visit in the LLC, hopefully I will be able to get a few more pictures this week. @DWVPS
