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. It wasn’t until June 2008, before the Prime Minister of Canada finally made an public apology to the residential school survivors and their families.  Since then, a Truth and Reconciliation (TRC) committee was established to meet and interview survivors and their families to record their experiences. They published a 94 call to action strategy for all levels of government to come together to begin repairing the harm that was done to the Indigenous people by the residential schools.  To date only 13 of those 94 calls to action have been completed. Today we wear orange to remember.
• Please allow a moment of silence for the thousands of children’s lives lost to residential schools.
• Reminder to grade 8 and 9 students, access to the modular is off limits. The modular is for grade 6 and 7 students only. Grade 8 and 9 please do not enter the modular building.
