Wearing pink is one small action, but our words and behaviour every day make the real difference. Together, we can build schools where respect is the norm and bullying has no place. 💗 #PinkShirtDay #BeKind #LiftEachOtherUp #StopBullying
Pink Shirt Day reminds us that every student and staff member deserves to feel safe, valued, and included at school. Today, let’s choose kindness, speak up when we see bullying, and reach out to anyone who seems alone.
As the holy month of Ramadan has begun, we extend our warmest wishes to all educators observing this sacred time. May this month of reflection and renewal bring peace, strength, and a deep sense of unity to you, your families, and your students. #RamadanMubarak

February is I Love to Read month, and for SRTA president @jonwaite.bsky.social, it’s his favourite time of the year. He has a big selection of books to read to students, and each school he reads at will receive books for their libraries. Can you tell he’s a big fan of hockey? 🥅 🏒 🇨🇦
February is Black History month and our colleagues at @mbteachers.bsky.social have compiled a number of resources and links for teachers. Head over to www.mbteach.org/mtscms/index... for all the details.

On Sunday, SRTA members, along with family and friends, took in the @winnipegjets.com game. It was a great afternoon, not only for the hockey but it was also the Hockey Fights Cancer game. We felt inspired by cancer survivors and fortunate to be part of the day.
Today is Remembrance Day, a day to reflect on the past and honour members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the RCMP who have defended our values and freedoms. We give our thanks & gratitude to those who continue to serve our nation today, ensuring peace and security for all Canadians. #LestWeForget
Together, November 8 and 11 represent both remembrance and reconciliation — honouring not just those who fought abroad, but those who continue to fight for recognition, equality, and voice here at home.
Visit buff.ly/BRuGnS0 for more info on the legacy and contributions of Indigenous veterans.
Honouring Indigenous veterans reminds us that reconciliation requires truth, and remembrance must be inclusive of all who served, especially those who were forgotten for too long. Indigenous Veterans Day ensures that the full history of service is told, including those who were once erased from it.
This day, first recognized in 1994, arose from a need to make space for truth — to recognize that these soldiers’ courage was not only on the battlefield, but also in the fight for dignity and recognition upon returning home.
