I will advocate for mental health support systems in schools, ensuring that all students and their teachers have access to counselors, resources, and programs that foster emotional and psychological well-being. Our learning environment should promote holistic approach to education that cares for the whole individual—mind, body, and spirit.
PARENT ENGAGEMENT & COMMUNITY COLLABORATION
It takes a village to raise a child, and building strong schools means engaging parents, teachers, students, and community members in meaningful dialogue. I believe in the power of working together to create positive, lasting change in our educational system. Any changes reflect the voices and values of the families and students we serve.
Strong partnerships between parents and schools are essential for student success. I am committed to increasing parental involvement through open communication, accessible decision-making processes, and inclusive parent-teacher partnerships. Together, we can ensure that parents are valued contributors to their children's education.
TEACHER SUPPORT & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Our teachers are the backbone of our education system, and their professional growth is essential to student success. I will advocate for increased funding and opportunities for teachers' professional development, mentorship programs, and resources that help them stay at the forefront of educational best practices. A well-supported teacher is a better teacher for our students.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Our schools must lead by example in promoting sustainability. I will champion initiatives that reduce our environmental footprint, including energy-efficient buildings, sustainable waste management practices, and education that empowers students to become environmental stewards. By teaching our children the importance of sustainability, we can prepare them to tackle the environmental challenges of the future.
EXCELLENCE & EMPOWERMENT
Excellence in education is about more than just academic achievement. It’s about nurturing well-rounded individuals who are equipped to contribute to their communities. I will work tirelessly to ensure our schools provide an education that promotes both academic and personal growth.
Every student deserves to feel empowered to achieve their full potential. By providing the right tools, resources, and support, we can create an environment where students feel confident, capable, and ready to succeed.
TECHNOLOGY & DIGITAL LITERACY
In today’s digital age, technology is both an essential tool and a challenge for educators and students alike. I will advocate for the integration of cutting-edge technology in classrooms while ensuring students develop critical digital literacy skills. This includes not only understanding how to use technology but how to navigate the digital world responsibly and safely.
STUDENT VOICE & LEADERSHIP
Students are at the heart of our education system, and they deserve a say in the decisions that affect their lives. I will work to empower students to take on leadership roles in shaping their schools by creating platforms for them to express their ideas and concerns. When students have a voice, they are more engaged and invested in their education.
SCHOOL SAFETY
Ensuring the safety of our students is non-negotiable. I will work to implement policies and practices that create safe, inclusive, and respectful environments. This includes physical safety measures, bullying prevention programs, and crisis response strategies, so that every student feels secure in their learning environment.
CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP
Educational equity requires addressing the disparities that exist in academic achievement among different groups of students. I will push for data-driven strategies to close the achievement gap, particularly for students from underserved communities, by ensuring targeted resources and support are in place to help every child succeed.
TOLU'S COMMITMENT
Dear Regina Resident,
I am committed to leading on multiple fronts, with a forward-thinking, inclusive, and community-driven approach to meet the diverse needs of our students.
As your Trustee candidate for Subdivision 4 in the November 13 election, my vision is centered on the values of TEAM: Truth and Reconciliation, Equity and Inclusion, Accountability and Innovation, and Mental Health and Well-Being.
My journey in Canada began at age 15 when I immigrated to study at the University of Regina. Since then, I have earned both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Social Work, and I have committed myself to serving the community that welcomed me with open arms. Now, as a mother of three, I understand the challenges families face and the need for supportive learning environments where all students can thrive.
With extensive board experience and a career in social services, I have worked to improve lives through collaboration and community-driven change. I understand the unique strengths and challenges of Subdivision 4 schools.
Innovation will prepare our students for a rapidly changing world, while Accountability ensures responsible management of resources. By fostering Truth and Reconciliation, we can create inclusive spaces where Indigenous histories are respected. Equity and Inclusion will ensure every child, regardless of background, has access to quality education. Lastly, prioritizing Mental Health and Well-Being is essential to support the success of students, staff and parents alike.
If elected, I will be a strong voice for parents, teachers, and students, ensuring our schools reflect the diversity of our community and that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
I kindly ask for your support in this election. Let’s create a brighter future for our schools and children together. Remember, your vote on November 13 is a vote for our children's future!
Thank you.
