Entente District 9 Huron Perth

You may not remember every lesson you taught. Someone may still remember how you made them feel capable.

On World Teachers’ Day, we thank the teachers who make room for questions, notice when a student needs encouragement and help learning take hold.

To the active and retired teachers in our Entente community: your work matters, and its influence can reach far beyond the classroom.

What is one teaching moment that has stayed with you?

It was great to start September with our annual T''ell With The Bell brunch at Mitchell. Not sure when this tradition started, but we recognized one member who has been coming for 32 years.
It was wonderful to have Stew Grant from Grant Haven Media come and talk about small town newspapers.
And for a little fun, tables were challenged with a little trivia. How would you do with no tech and only 5 minutes?

The Danube River flows into which sea?
What is a wallaby?
What three-headed dog guards the underworld?
What does NATO stand for?
Where did the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sink?
A perfect game of 5-pin bowling consists of how many points?
Name all the former Canadian prime ministers who are still alive. (last names only)
What year did the Maple Leafs last win the Stanley Cup?
What do you call a group of flamingos?
How many wives did King Henry VIII have beheaded?
What were the first words spoken by Mickey Mouse on film?
What year did Ontario switch to 4-letter + 3-number license plates?

Back to school, back to possibility

Wishing students everywhere a year filled with curiosity, discovery and connection.

And to the educators and school staff who make it all possible: thank you. Many Entente Education Canada members are part of today’s education community, while others know the excitement of back-to-school from years spent in classrooms and schools.

Here’s to a wonderful year of learning, at every age.
