"Esser works one-on-one with some students having a tough day or who need extra assistance. He plows in a special way so kids can play on a mountain of snow, retrieves balls from the rooftop and raises money for the local education foundation."

🇨🇦 Canadian Word of the Day: Pencil Crayon

What do you call a wood-cased colouring instrument? If you're Canadian, you likely say 'pencil crayon.' Most Americans, on the other hand, call them 'colored pencils.' This simple two-word term is a classic piece of Canadian vocabulary, learned in elementary school art classes from coast to coast. It's a small but distinct marker of Canadian English. #Canada #CanadianSlang #WordOfTheDay #SchoolDays

I'll never forget this!

Back in 1987–1988, some friends from another high school decided to paint a farewell mural.
Instead of something nice, they painted a modified Stryper album cover designed to insult the teachers! 😂

By the time it was revealed, they had already graduated anyway.
