Oki, Tansi, Umba-wathtich, Danita ada, Aanii, Hello Dalhousie Families!
A big thank you to all the families who joined us for last night’s Meet the Teacher event! It was wonderful to see so many of you, and we hope you had a chance to learn more about your child’s teachers, classroom, and what’s in store for the upcoming school year.
This week at Dalhousie, we marked Truth and Reconciliation Week and Orange Shirt Day through a number of initiatives. Students learned about the origin of Orange Shirt Day through age-appropriate stories, and participated in school-wide commemorative art and various other learning activities. Each class also committed to a reconciliACTION (a learning that they want to do this year) that will move their understanding and knowledge of Indigenous history, way of being, and contributions with the goal of sharing our learning in June at our National Indigenous Peoples Day assembly. Our week concluded with every student wearing orange on Thursday to mark Orange Shirt Day.
