Sharmila Xavier

@kristynwongtam Thank you for coming to our class in response to my students letters that they wrote you. We loved having you!

I recently visited #TorCen's Nelson Mandela Park Public School. Seeing the students was the highlight of my whole week. Their passion for the community was undeniable as they asked me some tough questions. Thank you to Ms. Xavier for having me and inspiring the next generation!

@UIEC_Tdsb @tdsb @rjdurocher @notknownotice @antogiambrone @TanyaSenk @123Coady @JSpyropoulos Thank you @UIEC_Tdsb

June 21 is summer solstice- wishing you summer solstice blessings! It also is National Indigenous Peoples Day celebrating the brilliance of First Nations, Inuit & Métis people (although that should be everyday) @tdsb

As Pride week begins let’s remember that Pride started as a riot! Let’s honour Marsha P. Johnson & all the others in the past and currently for standing up to police brutality, homophobia & transphobia. It’s more than raising a flag - it’s intentional work everyday, every school

We look forward to sharing in a celebration for National Indigenous People Day @tdsb on Friday, June 17 for 1-2:30 PM. Please join us

We used @Minecraft Education to explore regions of Canada. Ss built mines, farmlands, and the Northern Lights. Along with their biome, they wrote paragraphs welcoming a newcomer to their physical region. #MinecraftEdu #edutwitter @PlayCraftLearn ⛏🌲🏔

Join us in two weeks for this "in conversation" between Elder @dukeredbird & @tdsb System Superintendent of Indigenous Education, Tanya Senk. This conversation will explore Indigenous history, culture, education & more. Learn more & register: eventbrite.ca/e/in-conversat…

It’s been a heavy weekend. As we start this week I ask that @tdsb educators to engage with @UIEC_Tdsb to ensure that you do this work in culturally safe & trauma-informed ways as to not unintentionally perpetuate colonial violence & harm - this work is not about saving the day
