Orange Shirt Day 2023

Posted on September 29, 2023 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Orange Shirt Day is an event that started in 2013.
It was designed to educate people and promote awareness about the Indian residential school system and the impact this system had on Indigenous communities for more than a century in Canada.
The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools.
This week, Division 9 students participated in Orange Shirt Day in a couple different ways. We. tried to put ourselves in the shoes of Phyllis Webstad and created art based on what t-shirt we would want to wear on the 1st day of school and discussed how it would feel if it was taken away. Today, a beautiful assembly was presented by Ms. Boyes and Nelson’s Indigenous Cmte. We ended with saying “Huy ch q’u” (“Hi-ch-ka,” giving of thanks, with our hands held in front at heart leave with palms open and facing upwards).

Nelson students, what was your favourite part of the day and how will you ensure that other students at school always feel like they matter, they are cared for and they are important?

Summer Where Am I? ~ 9

Posted on August 28, 2023 by Ms. Watt | 2 comments

The inspiration for our 9th & final Summer Where Am I? clue comes from Kennedy, Ava and I spent our day today visiting all the farm animals and Super Dogs we love.

Good luck with this week’s question! I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer break and I can’t wait to see you all next week!
