Stephanie Ledger We need to ensure that qualified and highly trained MLL educators continue to be available in all school boards to conduct initial assessments and make those incredibly important first contacts with newcomer families, to set everyone up for success!!

Oh.
Wow.
This hit me with all the feels.

Less than 2 weeks left to order syrup. $8 for a 250 ml bottle or $96 for a case of 12 (comes with a tax receipt). These make great gifts & they support our ongoing programs in Ethiopia. New this year $30 for a 2L jug! Send orders & e-transfers to [email protected].

This initiative is a wonderful testament to the power of collaboration to create positive impact for all participants!

Avoid assuming that multilingual learners’ families will know all about typical American school systems and the routines such parent teacher conferences.

Instead, help prepare and support caregivers through this process. It may be unfamiliar to them. Or they may be nervous…
