Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Grandmother Francine to our school. To honour the children who were taken from their homes and made to attend Residential Schools, we were lucky to have a well-respected Algonquin Elder speak to the students about why we have Orange Shirt Day and its significance. Using the time honoured traditional Indigenous teaching method of storytelling, Grandmother Francine shared stories and songs and delivered an important message: learn our true history, celebrate all cultures and be proud of yours. We are so thankful to have had the pleasure of her visit and teaching.

Each month we add a little fun to the routine with our spirit squad dress up days. All of the students and Teachers are placed into a colour group, and each colour group has children from each grade. Today was our first dress up day, and the students wore colours that represented their squad

On Thursday and Friday last week, students were looking sharp as they dressed to impress for picture day! Our gymnasium was set up, with social distancing in mind, for this special occasion.....take a look.
