Orange Shirt Day

Orange Shirt Day is Friday, September 29th. Students are encouraged to wear an orange shirt to honour those who survived Indian Residential Schools and remember those who didn’t. The motto: Every Child Matters is a reminder that every child, regardless of background, is important, and is a commitment that we will all do what we can to ensure students’ self-esteem and well being.

In our class we will be discussing these things in an age appropriate manner, focusing on treating others with kindness and respect even if they are different from us.
