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. Under the direction of the federal government, the schools were operated and managed by religious groups.  Most students lived there for several years starting as young as four years old, up to the age of sixteen. Majority of the students suffered physical, mental, spiritual and sexual abuse which would affect them in a negative way for the rest of their lives. Canada’s own food guide was created based on research of the dietary structure of malnourished children within residential schools. To learn more about the calls to action and reconciliation please visit the link on our website.
