June 26th Officially the last day of school for @dsbniagara! Yas!!🎉🙃🎈🥳👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Good job to all the students, teachers and parents/grandparents/guardians of kids from all school boards for getting through the last leg of the 2019/2020 school year. Now the summer truly begins… an opportunity for R&R, new adventures, growth spurts and time to learn something new (that may have nothing to do with school). . . . . . #summervacation #sunscreenalways #summerinNiagara #SouthridgeJamCo #summergoals #handwashchallenge #summerjams #summertime #pauseonlinelearning #havesomefun #familygoals
Eating breakfast sends your body a positive message that you are taking care of your health and well-being. Once you have that taken care of, hope you have many other opportunities to be kind to yourself today! . . . . . #Startthedayoffright #Breakfast #Grapejelly #Wakeupgrateful #Nourishyourbody #Hopeful #SouthridgeJamCo #Bekindtoyourself #breakfastisimportant #avoidhangrytime #Jellymakeslifesweeter
