Orange Shirt Day! Nation Day for Truth and Reconciliation!

By -

 Religion Classes have been reflecting all week on the issues that impact First Nations peoples in Canada. 

During Orange Shirt Day, the First Nation Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Ms Lopez and Ms Di Matteo's classes coloured feathers and made a display to remember children who lost their lives and were impacted by residential schools. 





Ms Cozzolino Giorlando's class researched the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action and discussed them as a class.  After they made small cards and posted them outside the classroom to reflect on Orange Shirt Day.

 The year is coming to a close and with that, the YPI event has also wrapped up. This event has grade 10 students in the religion classes research and visit a local charity in a bid to win funds for that charity.  These funds go a long way to help out the people of Windsor Essex.  This year has posed a challenge for the teachers and students in grade 10 who participated in YPI.  However, they still rose to the challenge and produced amazing work. This year we would like to congratulate:  Maya Williams for Noah's House  Donnovan Bennett for Family Respite Services  Raein Zara, Noah Hammett, Haydin Blain, Ben Farina, Louis Tessier, Hunter Moore for Ronald McDonald House Maryam Sako, Hailey Mallett, Sedra Yousif for Windsor Women Working with Immigrant Women Also a huge congratulations and thank you to Beth Peacock and Dawn Ibrahim who have worked with these students to help them produce such amazing work.   This could not function without you both.
