Garden School News - October 1-12

Posted: 
Friday September 28

Monday, October 1st is Orange Shirt Day.

Orange Shirt Day is an annual event that started in 2013 to recognize the legacy of the Residential Schools system for First Nations, Métis and Inuit families and communities. It is a show of support and understanding of the history of Canadian school system, which impacts many First Nations, Métis and Inuit families today. The phrase “Every Child Matters” reminds everyone that children are such an important and integral part of our communities, and that they are our future generations of change makers. By wearing orange, we have an opportunity to bring awareness to the history of Residential Schools and to stand up against other injustices that may impact our children/students. We encourage every child to wear an Orange shirt on Monday (or anything orange would be fine).

 

Cross Country Meet will be on October 4th at Ashbridges Bay. We were finally able to secure a school bus, therefore students will not be traveling by TTC.

Students must be at school by 8 AM. We anticipate arriving back to the school by 3:30pm.

 

A reminder that Friday, October 5th is PA Day. There is no school on Friday.

Thanksgiving is on Monday, October 8th.

Happy Thanksgiving! No School!
