Ross Road School

I had the honour today to visit Madame @mmeashleymorgan’s Grade 7 students at Ross Road School to talk about my 25+ year journalism career and my honourary Doctor of Civil Law degree. This is the beautiful quilt the students made for me. This is Madame Morgan pictured with me.

Sherri Borden Colley joined Gr 7s today to discuss African Nova Scotian challenges, past and present. Students were amazed by her bravery and storytelling, and loved hearing Sherri's connection to the community. Thank you, Sherri, you are Black Excellence.

L'histoire du Hip Hop et du graffiti est en plein essor à Ross Road. 🎤🎧 Les élèves ont lu sur la puissance de la musique et nous avons identifié les graffitis populaires dans la région de HRM. Ils ont exprimé leurs goûts musicaux & leurs talents artistiques! @hrce_fsl @HRCE_NS

Shout out to HRA and Grade 4/5 on an amazing shadow puppet show.

The students, staff and Lucy our grade 2/3 crested gecko wish everyone a restful, safe and happy Holiday break.

What a night. Parker was honored tonight with an HRM Volunteer Award for his funds raised for the Ross Road library. Thanks to @rossrdschool 's inspiring staff, and especially Ms. L, for being such a guiding force behind his passion. #hrmvolunteerawards

Ms. Wrights P1 class showing their school spirit this week! Tomorrow’s Rainbow Day and I can’t wait to see the colourful ideas students will come up with 😀

Lots of learning today in Mr Miller's class @rossrdschool as Ss discovered patterns in relation to smallest & largest area given a perimeter. It is always so rewarding when Ss collaborate, make observations & come up with generalizations! #buildingthinkingclassrooms #HRCEmath

We wrapped up spirit week with comfy cozy pjs! The elementary floor also worked to grow Mr. Grinch’s heart by writing acts of kindness down for the month of December!

Happy Holidays to our Ross Road students and their families. Have a great break and we’ll see you on January 2nd.

Ms. Leblanc and our JR High teachers getting into the Holiday spirit!
