What's coming up?

Orange Shirt Day
Monday October 1st is Orange Shirt Day. Please send your child wearing an Orange Shirt. The Orange Shirt Day legacy grew from the story of a young girl having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of residential school, and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually.
