The mental health awareness session was an excellent way to get students to understand the effects of their actions on others and how this can be turned around. The acronym 'HOPE' is something that can be easily remembered and teachers can apply this to their classrooms.

The Inspiration Republic virtual presentation titled "The People You May Know" was an excellent way for our school community to kick off Black History Month. The virtual presentation was at an appropriate level for our grade 4 to 8 students to understand the complex issues of anti-black racism, white privilege and allyship. I highly recommend other schools to consider hosting the presentation to help educate their students on these critical topics. Thank you!

Joel and Germaine tailored the information and the format of their presentations making it relevant to the age of the audience. The show was interactive with volunteers and a game show as a culminating that activity to review the content. The biographical information about Elijah McCoy, Harry Jerome and Viola Desmond was tied to character traits (e.g., Never Give Up and Be A Problem Solver) and Canadian Black History. This helped to embed the learning rather than creating a one-off presentation that tokenizes Black History Month.
