MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Standing by the closed playground at Wolseley School, Sheri-Lynn Skwarchuk, a professor at the U of W, holds Tobybox's mascot. Sheri-Lynn has been working on what she calls "a parent support tool" called ToyBox. The app aims to help users teach children numeracy and literacy skills at home — a timely tool for homeschoolers during the pandemic. She sped up the launch to publish the app so families can access it now via email. See Maggie's story 200406 - Monday, April 06, 2020.
