Our Grade 4-6 Students will be participating in the Blanket Exercise on Monday June 13th in the afternoon. This Blanket Exercise is a teaching tool that shares the historic and contemporary relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in Canada. The KAIROS Blanket Exercise is an interactive learning experience that teaches the Indigenous rights history we’re rarely taught. Developed in response to the 1996 Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples—which recommended education on Canadian-Indigenous history as one of the key steps to reconciliation, the Blanket Exercise covers over 500 years of history in a one and a half hour participatory workshop. Thank you to Ms. Umezawa for organizing. We are all looking forward to a thoughtful experience.
We would like to welcome all Parents to our Book Fair on Wednesday evening from 3:30 -6:00 PM. Please join us in the library and pick up some great reading materials for your children for the summer months. Feel free to stay for our last School Council meeting beginning at 6:30PM. Babysitting will be provided.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Ms. Hardy
