Every Child Matters Phyllis Webstad, who attended a residential school in British Columbia in the 1970's, started Orange Shirt Day in 2013. Phyllis was initially excited to go to school and went shopping with her granny to pick out a new outfit for school; she chose a shiny orange shirt. That shirt was taken away from her when she arrived at residential school and was never returned to her. On September 30th, Canadians wear an orange shirt to demonstrate the commitment to reconciliation and opening and continuing the dialogue about residential schooling.

Did you know? Our teachers at Silver Springs School have set up their virtual classrooms again. In the event that we need to transition to online learning, they are ready! And in the meantime, they are posting what they are doing daily for those who cannot be in the classroom! #weareready #virtuallearning #checkyourstudentemail #Googleclassroom

Have you noticed not everything you've sent to school with your student has made it's way back home? Since the school is unable to have a lost and found at school, it is now super important to make sure all our stuff is labelled. Choose Mabel's Labels and 20% of your purchase goes back to our school!... #supportourschool #labeleverythinginthebackpack #reducelostitems #maybethrowafacemaskinyourcart

The Terry Fox Virtual Run. One Day. Your Way. The students have been learning about Terry Fox this week. Each class has come up with their own challenge to honor Terry’s spirit of perseverance, kindness, and hope. - Our Grade 5 and 6 students have been tracking long distance running. Each cohort is adding up the number of kilometers they run each day. The goal is to better their goal.... - The grade 4 students in Mrs. Ibbotson’s class have a fitness challenge including wicked sets of pushups. See the outtakes in the video to see Mrs. Ibbotson and Ms. Gillott in action! - Our grade 2/3 students will be designing a challenge to connect the theme of perseverance to Inuit games! - The grade 1 students in Mrs. Ballinger’s class are still working out their challenge! Stay tuned for more. - Kindergarten students will be doing a fitness challenge! - Our staff challenge is to walk 10K in the next 10 days! Please feel free to join in any of the challenges and send in a note or picture about your accomplishments to [email protected]!
