General Announcements

• Today please remember to be kind, respectful and inclusive to each other in our hallways, classrooms and community.
• Each day we will read information about the residential schools for Truth and Reconciliation week. Residential schools were established throughout canada to assimilate the child into the non-indigenous culture mainly, euro-canadian culture. The first church-run residential school was opened in 1831.   Between the years 1884 and 1996, over 150,000 indigenous students throughout Canada were snatched from their homes and forced to attend residential schools, with over 12,000+ children dying. Please check out the link for more information.
• There are QR codes hanging around the school to find the calls to action. The first 3 students to win were Cohen, Landon and Gabe. They found out what year the last residential school closed, 1996, how many calls to action are there, 94 and of those how many have been met, 13.
