    💚 There’s Always Room at the Table! 💚⁠ ⁠ We’re so excited to support Roots Community Food Centre’s Set the Table campaign!⁠ ⁠ Just two weeks ago, Roots’ Free Soup for Students program launched at @stpatricktbcdsb and @tbcdsb_ignatius, and our Falcons and Saints are LOVING it! It’s amazing how a warm bowl of soup can bring students together and build community!⁠ ⁠ Now, Roots and @@impalacanada are teaming up to serve 60,000 meals in 2027! Even better? Impala Canada will match local business donations, dollar for dollar, up to $150,000! That’s a potential $300,000 for our community!⁠ ⁠ A HUGE thank you to our Falcons, Saints and Anton from Kokinos Foods, our school food service provider, for incorporating this initiative! And to Erin and the entire Roots team, your passion and energy are infectious! 🎉⁠ ⁠ Bravo to @tbt_engineering, @jones_insurance and @halfwaymotorsnissan for leading the way!⁠ ⁠ There’s always room for one more at the table! Follow @roots_cfc to learn how you can help! ⁠ ⁠

    🍂🧡 ⁠ ⁠ There’s just something so wonderfully nostalgic about holiday decorations in an elementary school.⁠ ⁠ They bring you right back to your own school days, creating art, welcoming the changing seasons, and feeling that familiar sense of warmth, comfort, and childhood magic. ⁠ ⁠ Well, we felt ALL those feels during Friendsgiving in Ms. Kibzey and Ms. Crowe’s classroom at @corpuschristitbcdsb! ⁠ ⁠ From the beautifully set table to the handmade Thanksgiving artwork, every little detail was filled with love, creativity, and that special kind of elementary school charm. ⁠ ⁠ Take a peek at these sweet little details. We think they’ll warm your heart as much as they did ours! More to come on FB!

    🌱 Growing Healthy Places, Together! 🌱 ⁠ ⁠ Today, we celebrated an exciting partnership with @opheacanada, @thunderbay_district_healthunit, and @mylakehead as we launch the Growing Healthy Places initiative!⁠ ⁠ What does that mean for our students? ⁠ 🏃 More ways to get moving, stay active, and build lifelong healthy habits!⁠ ⁠ 💚 Stronger, healthier school communities that support student well-being!⁠ ✨ Our priorities are: physical literacy (quality physical education, physical activity, outdoor play & decreased screen time)! ✨ ⁠ We’re excited to begin this journey with @stvincenttbcdsb, @olc_tbcschools, @stmargarettbcdsb, @tbcschools_stjd, @stthomastbcdsb, and @stann.tbcdsb who will help shape this initiative through collaboration, research, and community engagement.⁠ ⁠ Through community collaboration, research, and a shared commitment to student well-being, we’ll work toward solutions that make a lasting difference in our schools.⁠ ⁠ Healthy students. Healthy schools. Healthy futures.⁠ ⁠ We’re excited to see what we can grow together! 💚

    💚 $347 for kids… from bigger kids! 💚⁠ ⁠ We’re so proud of Sameer and Luke, who were passed the torch by Luke’s older sister, Ava, and her friend Claire, who started something pretty great at @tbcdsb_ignatius!⁠ ⁠ These Seniors collected uniforms from last year’s graduating students, laundered and sorted them, and then offered them at extremely reasonable prices during the Grade 9 BBQ.⁠ ⁠ Not only does this help families save a little money, it’s also an amazing community service AND a green effort. ⁠ ⁠ And the best part? ⁠ $347 was raised and donated to @childrenscentrethunderbay, which provides children’s mental health, child development and parenting services to infants, children, youth and families across our community!⁠ ⁠ Naveen... oh yes, you get a shoutout! We hope you can follow in your brother Sameer’s footsteps, just as Luke followed in Ava’s!⁠ ⁠ What a wonderful tradition to keep going! Way to go, Falcons! St. Ignatius would be proud! 🥹

    🚔⁠ ⁠ The Kids: “Ohhh you LOOK like CHASE!?”⁠ ⁠ *Chase: A German Shepherd police and spy pup who serves as the team’s mature second-in-command in the popular cartoon, Paw Patrol* ⁠ ⁠ Now, we personally don’t think Constable Dougherty looks like Chase... but in the eyes of four + five year olds, who have apparently assigned various careers to various cartoon characters, we get what they’re saying! 😂⁠ ⁠ 😂⁠ ⁠ Thank you Iggy Alumnus, Constable Dougherty(@thunderbaypoliceservice) for coming and reading to the KinderPanthers at @stpaultbcdsb last week! ⁠ ⁠ Although you may not be a spy, or second in command, the kids sure did get a kick out of your visit! 💚⁠ ⁠ ⁠

    🧡 🍪⁠ ⁠ Students in Mrs. Costanzo’s Culinary Class at @tbcdsb_ignatius put their skills to work today, baking and decorating specialty T-shirt cookies in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.⁠ ⁠ Finished with royal icing, sprinkles and beautiful lettering, the cookies were sold at lunch to raise funds for Shannen’s Dream, a campaign named in honour of Shannen Koostachin of Attawapiskat First Nation. ⁠ ⁠ Shannen advocated for safe, comfortable, culturally appropriate schools and equitable education for First Nations children and youth. Following her passing in 2010, her advocacy continued to inspire young people across Canada and helped bring national attention to inequities in First Nations education.⁠ ⁠ Today was also an opportunity to reflect on something we can sometimes take for granted: having safe, welcoming schools where students can learn, create, build friendships and even spend an afternoon learning how to bake and decorate cookies. 🧡⁠ ⁠ Every child deserves this same opportunity.⁠ ⁠ We are proud of our students for using what they are learning in the classroom to support a cause rooted in education, equity and hope. 💚
