Every child matters.
Chaque enfant compte.
Division 10 participated in a school-wide reconciliation activity this week. Called the “Reconciliation Rock Project”, students first listened to older peers read Trudy’s Rock Story by Gitxsan author Trudy Spiller.
Then, students searched for their own special rock on a nature walk.
Once found, they added words and/or drawings to their rocks that show solidarity with and care for Indigenous peoples of Canada.
Their next step is to explain their rock’s significance to loved ones and return it to the environment. Hopefully, members of the local community will notice and appreciate them.
(In keeping with our belief to do no harm to nature, we used Crayola washable markers. Hopefully, these messages will be seen before the next rainfall!)
