@SCDSB_Schools @SCDSB__OPHEA @opheacanada @SMDhealthunit A great collaboration. Shout out to @GjacobsG and the Ophea Team at the #SCDSB and our star @TwinLakes_SS & @OrchardParkPS students for their work to make our whole board @OntHSC
A super inspiring panel discussion showcasing how the SCDSB and the SMDHU collaborate to ensure that every school in their board achieves Healthy School Certification. It was also amazingly powerful to hear from their students! #ohsc2024

We were thrilled to implement a Loose Parts Play day at one of our @ctjumpstart Everybody Plays schools!
90% of the materials were donated by parents and businesses and the students had a blast finding different ways to build and play!
