We commemorated Orange Shirt Day today to remember and recognize children who were affected by residential schools in Canada's past. The students showed great compassion and respect, and we had excellent conversations about how we can ensure that children are never treated like that again in our country. We spent the day watching a Peace Pipe Ceremony, listening to Elders, learning about mikiwahp (tipis), making some reflective art, & planting tree seeds to honour Indigenous people impacted by the tragedy of residential schools. You can watch the videos below to learn more about Orange Shirt Day. Comments are closed.
