All schools will be closed today, December 17, 2025. The majority of our school buildings are currently without power, which has left our sites without heat or internal lighting. At many locations, the security shutters cannot be raised without power, further limiting visibility and access to natural light within the classrooms. Given the intensity of the wind and the scale of the outages, we do not expect power to be restored quickly. Additionally, significant debris on the roads and continuing winds make the commute to and from school unsafe. (more…)

#FridayReads: Celebrate Easter with The Good Egg
Webster’s Corners Elementary teacher-librarian Lindsay Lane recommends The Good Egg by Jory John for Easter.
In honour of Easter eggs everywhere, I recommend The Good Egg by Jory John, the author of the popular book The Bad Seed. This delightful story follows a good egg surrounded by others who behave badly. The good egg feels so much pressure to be perfect that he starts cracking under the strain. Through his journey, he learns the importance of balance and self-acceptance, realizing that it’s okay to be imperfect.
The Good Egg is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a meaningful and engaging book to share with children. The illustrations by Pete Oswald are cute, vibrant, and engaging, adding an extra layer of appeal to the story. The story encourages discussions about perfectionism, self-acceptance, and the importance of balance in life. It’s a delightful read that will resonate with people of all ages.
Whether you’re looking for a bedtime story or a book to spark meaningful conversations, The Good Egg is a fantastic choice. Its positive messages and engaging visuals make it a must-read for the season!
The Good Egg is available in SD42 libraries.
