LET’S GET SOCIAL!

BEES CAN RECOGNIZE FACES?

Not exactly like we do, but honeybees can learn and remember visual patterns, including different human faces!

They have brains the size of a sesame seed, and yet they can distinguish between faces and remember them.

So if a bee seems to be checking you out, maybe it remembers you!

ECOTECTURE

How are you spending this Sunday to breath, reflect and realign?

At the CARE Showcase in SD23, students weren’t just presenting their own ideas, they were showing up for each other.

Listening.
Asking questions.
Sharing feedback.
Celebrating each other’s ideas.

Because when youth are given the space to lead, collaborate, and learn from one another, big change starts with small conversations.

This is what CARE is all about: giving young people the opportunity to turn their ideas into action, and supporting each other along the way. 💚

The future is in good hands.
