Celebration in a learning community isn’t reserved for performances, showcases, or Spirit Days. It lives in the everyday moments that help students and teachers feel seen. From a colleague bringing a morning tea to a team rallying behind a hesitant learner, celebration becomes the culture, not the event. And when it is woven into the fabric of how we work together, it strengthens belonging in ways no checklist or curriculum ever could.
