A few dollars for chips, soda, candy, and cookies may not seem like much, but they can add up every week. Before putting it in the cart, ask: Do my children need this, or are we just used to buying it? Save more. Waste less. #SaveMoney #ChildrenFirst

This on you #DougFord! The guidance for students who are 4 and 5 is under 20 children for a reason! #onpoli #ChildrenFirst
30 students in a kindergarten classroom is not developmentally appropriate, and in many cases is not safe.
Young children are easily overwhelmed and overstimulated in large classes, and meltdowns are common.
Our youngest learners deserve so much better.
