School Council Staff Appreciation 2021



In past years the Bloordale School Council has put on lunches

for all the staff to enjoy as a thank you for all the hard work they

do each and everyday to support our kids. 


This year is obviously very different and as we all know the work

that is being done by the teachers, including the constant moving

from in-person to remote learning, it is very difficult for all involved.

Our teachers and the rest of our school's staff feel the stress of the

changes and miss being in the school but they keep moving and

giving our kids all they have no matter what! They are making sure

our kids get through this pandemic and it is time we make sure that

they know that we are behind them and appreciate all they are

dealing with, especially this year in particular. 

 

This task becomes more difficult as we really have had to look

outside the norms and figure out a way we could show our thanks.

While we cannot go into the school and put on a lunch like in the past,

we can show our thanks in written messages.


Everyone in our community can take part by leaving a message at

To take part please fill in the form and thank you for taking the time

to show the staff of Bloordale that you appreciate all that they do!

Many of us are only learning in recent months and years about the atrocities that occurred to our Indigenous communities over the past 155 years and beyond.  Today I am leaving the link that provides the document that contains the 94 Calls Of Action that were developed by the TRC (the Truth and Reconciliation Commission) in 2015. Even at that time many Canadians did not know about the work being done and only as the discoveries that were made this summer and those that continue to be made has these calls come back to light. Our kids are learning in the classroom; as parents and caregivers we have a responsibility to learn and understand and act too! Today take a few minutes to begin reading the Calls To Action and tomorrow I will have a

Not The Year We Expected .....

Well, what a year 2020 is turning out to be, one we will never forget and one that our kids will tell tales of to future generations. But while we are able to one day tell stories of this time, many are still trying to come to terms with this new way of life. It is not easy and for many it is down right scary, if you need any help at all, you can reach out to your extended Bloordale family at anytime :) The TDSB has so many links at your finger tips to help you get started in finding help where you need it; from online learning to mental health, the website has got you many starting points.
