Princess Marfil

A picture to keep for a lifetime! I reunited with a student I am blessed to teach for a second year this morning and we had a great run towards each other with a hug and smiles. THIS IS MY WHY!!💙 @LDCSB @stmikeswdstk (I have permission to post)

#BellLetsTalk We help remove the stigma when we actively support recovery and treat each person with dignity so they feel safe, respected, valued and cared for. Along with talking let’s also listen to each other.

@mrs_skinkle Thank you!

@mspmarfil Happy birthday 🥳!

It’s been the busiest few weeks of my entire career in education, and despite that, I can say with a big smile that they’ve been the best, too! Love the admin life so far

@kraekerc I will be a full time VP! I’ll send my school via private messages.

@mspmarfil What school will you be at? And are you a full-time VP or will you still have teaching duties? Or LST duties?

This teacher is officially on summer holidays and out of the classroom, and returning in August as a Vice Principal!

@westernuEdu Welcome to the profession!

During our annual Orientation & Pinning Ceremony, we asked our incoming Teacher Candidates why they want to teach 💜 Here’s what some of them had to say 👇

I was excited for a free journal when I sent my prints for back to school to @Staples… I wasn’t ready for what was written inside!!! 🥹 thank you!!!

As I enter my 6th year of teaching, I am so excited to host a Teacher Candidate from @westernuEdu! Practicum opportunities are a significant place for growth and learning, and I’m indebted to the ones that hosted me when I was a Teacher Candidate. #PayItForward

I don’t recommend to any teacher ever to do what I did because it is NOT worth the stress - working full time AND registering for AQs. But, I am so happy and over the moon to finally have completed 2 Specialists AQs. It’s done, it’s over. I did it.

@westernuEdu Congratulations, @AntonPuvirajah!! Well deserved. & a bit congratulations to you, @khibbert ❤️❤️❤️ thrilled to have learned from such amazing educators!!

Please join us in welcoming our new Associate Dean, Teacher Education, Dr. Anton Puvirajah! He succeeds Dr. Kathy Hibbert, an exemplary leader who was honoured last year with the title of Distinguished University Professor. Learn more ⬇️ edu.uwo.ca/news-events/20…

Western Education mourns the loss of our esteemed colleague and beloved friend, Dr. Claire Crooks. A memorial celebration is set for Friday, July 26, at 4pm inside Western University's Great Hall. All are welcome. Claire's obituary can be found here: harrisfuneralhome.ca/obituaries/cla…

A dedication from one of the hardest working students I’ve ever taught that I never expected while marking autobiographies!! 😭😭😭

This grade 5 @mspmarfil @stmikeswdstk class did a fantastic job of reviewing the notes 🎶 B, A, and G with @musicwithmrgray’s “Ho! Hey!”Thanks Mr. Gray for all your fun play along videos! My classes and I really enjoy them!

@khibbert @LDCSB I agree!! I cannot believe it!

@mspmarfil @LDCSB That doesn’t seem possible!

I cannot believe that the (very close) ending of this school year brings me to 5 years of teaching with the @LDCSB. I am so thankful and blessed for all the opportunities, friendships, learning and growth being a teacher has given me. ❤️

@AntonPuvirajah @khibbert @WesternUEsc @westernuEdu Congratulations to you both!!!!!!

@khibbert @WesternUEsc Thanks so much @khibbert . An immense gratitude to you for the outstanding leadership as Associate Dean, Teacher Ed. Your unwavering dedication, passion, and kindness have made a lasting impression on our mission to transforming education, transforming lives. @westernuEdu

Delighted to announce that Dr @AntonPuvirajah has accepted the role of Associate Dean, Teacher Education beginning July 1! Please join me in welcoming my successor! I am confident that TE is in great hands! @WesternUEsc Congrats Anton!

The sun coming out today makes me sooooo excited!! Outdoor runs, here I come!

Families inviting me to any of their events after school is such a blessing! One of my students had a hockey game in Kitchener and I was able to cheer her on. I love this community. 💙 @LDCSB @stmikeswdstk (parent permission to post)
