Mid-Summer Switch![]()
We encourage families to "stock up" for the summer and will be providing each family that comes to our two last dates in June with multiple bags of books (as supplies last). This year we are trying something called the "Mid-Summer Switch" and will be opening for one day in the summer where you can return your current books and stock up with another few bags (as supplies last) for the month of August.![]()

The switch will take place at our Parent Resource location at 1117 Gerrard St. E from 1:30pm-3:30pm.![]()

Ryan shared with us that he will miss the school community he is leaving but is very happy to be landing at Equinox and Roden. He is enthusiastic about our schools’ mutual aid programs, views equity and anti-oppression practices as core to his work in education, values outdoor ed and land-based learning, is keen to learn from and with our staff, believes in transparent and regular communication, and was looking forward to checking out today’s Hot Lunch. (Ilona’s cooking did smell especially delicious!)![]()

But what he spoke about most, in a variety of ways, was the importance of relationships. Relationships across curriculum and relationships between people in a school community. Cathy said it warmed her heart to see him so immediately connect with our kids when he visited classes this morning.![]()

Ryan, welcome! We look forward to beginning our relationship with you.
