That's a wrap. 30 years in the classroom & admin & time for retirement. I always think best when I drive so I toured all 8 schools of my career. Great memories of staff, students and families but I'm also excited for the next chapter. #WhatsNext
We finished our #HughCairnsVC Pride sidewalk flag and gathered as a school community for a photo. What an amazing show of support, inclusion for our community. #LoveIsLove #HappyPride
The flag is up. Happy Pride everyone!!! #LoveIsLove #Pride2025
How most educators feel at this time of year. #TeacherTired
More time for officiating, travel, family and fun. Looking forward to the next chapter. #AlwaysATeacherAtHeart
5 as a classroom teacher, 9 as a Vice Principal, and 16 as a Principal. Working with kids, families and staff has been an honour. I'll miss many things but the laughter and learning I've received from students will be missed the most.
1/3 So for those who don't already know, this is my last school year and I will be retiring at the end of June. Pics from 1st year and last (Yes we used chalkboards when I started teaching). 30 years of teaching has been exciting, exhausting, fulfilling, fun, and frustrating, but never, never boring
Lots of learning this week at #HughCairnsVC ahead of #RedDressDay and today our Gr. 8's showed off the learning they did by inviting senior classes and community members to share their learning in the gym. #NoMoreStolenSisters

We held our February #HughCairnsVC School Community Council meeting at @optimisthill as it coincided with our annual Family Tubing Night. Families had a great time and we added a few new members as well. #GetOutside #ThinkingOutsideTheBox

So if anyone is wondering if Canada will ever become the 51st state, please watch my mother, who is in her 80's, plant a Canadian flag, attached to a hockey stick, in the snowbank in her front yard in honour of Flag Day on Saturday. #IAmCanadian

What an amazing day we had yesterday. All of our #HughCairnsVC students participated in an Indigenous Day Of Learning. They learned about animals, land use, Metis beading, ribbon skirt making, drumming, storytelling, and traditional games.
Homelessness in the United States is getting worse. But homelessness among military veterans has been getting better. The difference is that with the latter, a HOUSING FIRST approach is used. And like everywhere else that it’s used, it’s working. And it saves money.

A little #HughCairnsVC team building for our last staff meeting of 2024. Students get to judge the best gingerbread house tomorrow.
