Today we had our Orange Shirt Day assembly in the gym. We listened to the significance of the orange shirt and learned the meaning behind the phrase, “Every Child Matters.”
As a class, we talked about why we matter as individuals. We also thought of different ways in how we can show others that they matter:
“Love their cultures.” ~Sophia
“By listening to people.” ~Calliah
“Being gentle.” ~Milan
“Telling them that they matter.” ~Helma
“Including others.” ~Maxime
“I can show them respect and show them that I care about them.” ~Yousef
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.
