This Wednesday, September 30th marks a celebration of ORANGE SHIRT DAY.  The background information on this day is to recognize the unjust treatment of children who resided in Residential schools across the country.  In our Elementary School setting we will not be educating students of this time in history as it could be confusing and scary for some due to their young age, but will rather focus on the theme of EVERY CHILD MATTERS, regardless of who we are, the color of our skin, where we live or where we have come from.  If your child has an orange shirt, please encourage them to wear it on Wednesday.  Please don't go out to purchase something - we will provide small orange shirt pins for each child who wishes to celebrate with us.   Thank you very much - have a great day!
