Today we had our Orange Shirt Day assembly in the gym. We listened to the significance of the orange shirt, watched Phyllis Webstad share her story and why she started Orange Shirt Day in Canada, and learned the meaning behind the phrase, “Every Child Matters.”
We also read a book called Shi-shi-etko and learned about how a child and her family prepared her for an unknown journey to an unknown school.
Every Child Matters by Phyllis Webstad honours the history and resiliency of Indigenous Peoples on Turtle Island and moves us all forward on a path toward Truth and Reconciliation.
