Orange Shirt Day

September

Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake, BC, Canada, in the spring of 2013.  It grew out of Phyllis' story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission, and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually. 
The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year.  It also gives teachers time to plan events that will include children, as we want to ensure that we are passing the story and learning on to the next generations.
Orange Shirt Day is also an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.

Student Voice

Each classroom teacher has identified a minimum of 2 representatives who attend monthly meetings with the principal and assistant principal.  Meeting agendas include such items as choosing a spirit day, choosing a virtue of the month, discussing safety, or requests to school council. The classroom representatives consult with their classmates and bring their ideas and opinions to the meetings.
