For the past three days, Grade 5 students have been asking my Principal and I if they can sing the “perfect song” when Superintendent Patrika Daws visits Red Willow PS - today they sang Count on Me in its entirety for her.

Proud to showcase our Ravens’ excellence. Peel District School Board

Amazing afternoon spent with Superintendent Patrika Daws so much appreciation for our Red Willow PS Grade 5 student leaders. They gave her such a warm welcome!

Our doors are always open Pte. Buckam Singh Public School! A shout-out to our special guests Balbir Sohi and Patrika Daws for making our opening day extremely special. Silvia Zannella

Always wonderful when Superintendent Patrika Daws pays a surprise visit - next time I’ll remember to dye my hair before school starts 😂

Thanks for always inspiring, Patrika. We appreciate you.

Good morning Lions! We are Open for Learning! School begins at 8:15. Meet you on the playground. Look for staff members wearing RED holding up grade numbers to find your teacher. K students meet in fenced area. Be safe - keep your distance and wear a mask Peel District School Board Patrika Daws

I'm looking forward to this next chapter at the TDSB with a renewed sense of optimism. I'm confident that we can make this school year positive, safe & memorable for the students we serve. Please see my leadership report from last night's Board meeting: youtu.be/yEy-PajHSXA

NEW RELEASE!!! 🔗 fanlink.to/inthepines

This song originates from 1870s, but was popularized by many musicians throughout the decades. I used Lead Belly's 1944 recording of 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night' as a reference.

I am honoured and excited to start my role today as Director of Education in the TDSB. I am motivated by the brilliance in each & every student and I am optimistic about our shared future together.

I invite you to learn more about me & my experience here: bit.ly/3fvGxos

After the year you’ve had, a year like no other,
Goggles and masks making you feel you’d smother, 
A year you zoomed and teamed, pivoted and shifted, 
Trying to help all those who had drifted.
After a year such as this,
May your summer be pure bliss!

To my Fairlawn friends & family, thank you for an amazing 6 years as your VP. You’ve taught me and inspired me more than you know. I will miss you and hope to see you again soon. Have an amazing summer vacation. Stay safe & have lots and lots of fun. Fairlawn PS

I am really happy for Colleen and congrats to Toronto District School Board. A huge loss for Peel District School Board. In such a short period of time, you made a significant impact. Best wishes to you as you continue your legacy in leadership!

Dear Black Girl is a virtual event for Black Female & Black Non-Binary Peel District School Board students. A powerful K-8 event to empower, inspire, and mobilize.

We look forward to celebrating Black Excellence & Joy. A day to inspire Black students to own their power & brilliance.

Thank you to Zohrin Mawji for beginning tonight’s #DawsTownhall with the Land Acknowledgement.

She speaks of colonialism & reminds settler immigrants to preserve the land & pay respect to its original stewards. Passionately shares the why behind acknowledging the land.
