September 30

Journée Nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation

Today we paid homage to indigenous children who never returned home from residential schools and to the survivors who are still living with the negative effects of the horrendous treatment they endured.
To commemorate this important day, we all watched a short video by Phyllis Webstad on the history of Orange Shirt Day, followed by a discussion and an art project. It was truly heart-warming to see so many of our students wear their orange shirts to school today.
