We commemorated Orange Shirt Day today (and earlier this week as well) 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 week reading Indigenous stories, listening to Elders, learning from Indigenous author Nicola I. Campbell, researching mikiwahp (tipis), making some reflective art, & planting tree seeds in the Participark 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.
