Truth and Reconciliation Day

September 25, 2023September 25, 2023 Ms. Haigh

Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30.

Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.

On September 29th, please where your orange shirt to Alpha.

If you’re looking to educate yourself further around what this day is about and why it matters, check out the resources available at https://nctr.ca/education/coming-soon-truth-and-reconciliation-week-2023/

Welcome back!

September 20, 2023September 20, 2023 Ms. Haigh

Happy September and welcome back to the school and the library!

Reminder to students that books can be checked out anytime the library is open. You can check out up to 5 books at a time, and you get to keep them for up to 3 weeks.

When you’re finished return your books to the library book drops located in the hallway right outside the library, or in the side of the main library desk. If you aren’t done your book after 3 weeks come speak to us and we can renew it for you.

Happy reading!

Sudoku in the Library

April 5, 2023 Ms. Haigh

There’s a new interactive display in the library where you can test your numeracy skills; it’s a giant Sudoku board! The board will change weekly so you can give it a try more than once. We just ask that you return the yellow number to the storage area after you’re done so that other students can give it a try. Not sure how to play? Check out this site for instructions.
