Orange Shirt Day

Today was Orange Shirt Day. Orange Shirt Day is a day when we honor the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada and to learn more about the history of those schools.

We decorated our own orange shirts with hopeful message to those who were impacted by residential schools.


Reminder: Tomorrow is the Terry Fox run so it is the last day we are collecting donations!
