National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Today is orange shirt day! We created a collaborative art piece designed to hold many feathers that make up a set of large bird wings for students and staff to have their photo taken in front of. The wings symbolize us journeying together and breaking free from our past through our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, creating a sense of belonging for all students and showing that Every Child Matters, in an age appropriate way. More information is also available on our school website by visiting our Indigenous Education Holistic Lifelong Learning Framework.

You may notice that the flags at CBE schools and buildings will be lowered to half-mast at the end of day on Thursday, Sept. 29 to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Friday, Sept. 30. Flags will be returned to full-mast on Monday morning when facilities staff return to work.

Terry Fox

Students have been discussing the heroic efforts of Terry Fox over the past week and participated in a whole school assembly followed by a group run in our school field. Students recorded the number of laps they ran and some classes engaged in math problems to determine interesting facts like how many laps they ran as a whole class.

>span class="xcontentpasted0">We hope that our students will view themselves as positive agents of change, giving the best of themselves to Canada, just like Terry did.

Our fundraising goal this year was $2000 and we doubled it! This means, Mrs. Wright and Mr. Vooys will both dye their hair a fun and exciting colour in the upcoming days.

School Residency

>span class="xcontentpasted0"> Trickster Theatre from October 31 to November 4th! Our theme will centre around “Listening to the Land” in order to compliment learning on the land, particularly our local wetlands. Trickster we will be working with the school to customize the entire performance processes. We will be sharing more information about parent viewing and volunteering opportunities in upcoming communication.

Turkey Trot

Next week, students will be invited to predict how long it will take them to run two laps around the field. One student in each grade, from 1 to 4, with the most accurate prediction will be gifted a turkey!

Have a great long weekend!
