Orange Day -- Every Child Matters

On Monday, we will observe Orange Day at SLSS.  It is a day to show our solidarity with aboriginal people and acknowledge what happened to them as a result of residential schools.  Can you imagine what it would be like to have government officials come and take you away from your family and place you in a school where you were not allowed to speak your language or see your parents?  If you want to learn more, try reading Richard Wagamese's book - Indian Horse.

Wear something orange on Monday to show that you believe that every child is important and that we have learned that children must be supported, defended and respected.
