Today World Teachers’ Day! 🧑‍🏫 🍎💡

A word of encouragement. A new way to explain an idea. A teacher who sees potential in a student before they see it in themselves.

On world teachers’ day, we celebrate VSB teachers and the many ways they support student learning, well-being and belonging every day.

Across the District, teachers create meaningful learning experiences, build confidence and help students discover new interests and possibilities.

VSB also awards two $2,500 teacher recognition scholarships each year to graduating students, extending this recognition through support for student success.

To all VSB teachers, thank you for the knowledge, care and commitment you bring to students and school communities.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a federal statutory holiday dedicated to honouring Residential School Survivors, their families, and communities, to commemorate the children who never returned home, and to recognize the lasting impacts of Canada’s Residential School system. It is the fulfillment of Call to Action #80 and is marked on September 30 each year, as that was the time of year Indigenous children were historically taken from their homes to attend residential schools.

At schools, students and staff marked the day in various ways that included Orange Shirt Day assemblies, and performances by Indigenous dance company Dancers of Damelahamid. At the District, staff were invited to sessions that included cultural learning opportunities, cedar brushing, wool weaving, and a documentary screening.

What do you know about Terry Fox?

Today, September 28, is the official day for Terry Fox Foundation School Run. While September and October are popular months for the event, Schools are flexible to schedule their Terry Fox run anytime of the year. At Wolfe Elementary, the Terry Fox run starts the second week back to school, which is a very inspiring event to lead into a year. Students learn about Terry Fox during a school assembly as well as classroom discussion.
