“Every child matters, including you and me. With our orange hearts, we walk in harmony.”

We read the book With Our Orange Hearts by Phyllis Webstad. Phyllis is the founder of Orange Shirt Day. Her true orange shirt story “encourages young children to open their hearts and listen as others share their feelings, and to be more comfortable sharing their own feelings too. Listening is a first step towards reconciliation. It’s never too early to start.”

Can you see our orange hearts?

You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So get on your way! – Dr. Seuss

Introducing the “mountain climbers” of Division 12! We are looking forward to a fabulous kindergarten year – full of laughter and learning.

The children have been getting to know each other and have been making new friends. Ask your child if s/he can tell you the names of the classmates in the picture.
