RETSD schools strive to be warm and welcoming places for students of all cultural backgrounds. At École Munroe Middle School, the Culture Club celebrates different cultures, creating belonging and cultural safety for newcomers, and teaching everyone who participates about diversity. For May, the club celebrated Asian History Month with a lunch consisting of Filipino spring rolls, Pancit Bihon, and sushi.

Today in Bunn’s Creek Park, 50 RETSD teachers learned about integrating the outdoors into learning experiences, blending traditional academics with environmental awareness and hands-on exploration of the natural world. This learning will be brought back to students in their classrooms. Sessions included an Indigenous water ceremony, outdoor design projects, numeracy in nature, learning about trees, and creating “sit spots” in nature to practice mindfulness and reflection.

The next meeting of our Board of Trustees is Tuesday, June 2, starting at 6:30 p.m., at the RETSD Administration Offices. Parents and other stakeholders are welcome to take part, either in person or virtually. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4wUAWOq
