Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day.
September 30th has been declared Orange Shirt Day, in recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children's sense of self-esteem and wellbeing, and as an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters.
What is a residential school? How did it hurt children and their sense of self-esteem and well being? We searched for answers to these questions by reading this article at Teaching Kids News.
Your child is invited to wear an orange shirt tomorrow!
Hope you have some interesting dinner table conversation!
Best,
Mrs. Maronese
