As this school year comes to a close, we want to thank you for all you have done to support the students of Vancouver and public education in general. We know we have asked for your engagement on multiple issues throughout the year, and we are incredibly appreciative for the work you put in outside of the bookends of the school day. All the best for a rejuvenating summer from the In-House-Table-Officers at VESTA.

The TTOC Committee is hosting a Resource Swap & BBQ on Thursday, June 27th. If you are a TTOC or an Early Career Teacher, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to connect with others, pick up some free resources and enjoy some food and drinks. The Swap will begin @ 4pm, @ the VESTA office. We will have a food truck and some beverages set up in the VESTA parking lot. Please rsvp to lori@vesta.ca regarding food (options are veggie burger or meat burger). We look forward to seeing you there!

There will be appetizers, refreshments, door prizes, giveaways, workshop as well as an opportunity to smudge.
