Truth and Reconciliation Day
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/

Mystery in the Library
To celebrate Halloween we have brought back the annual Library Mystery. This year a precious Macaw has been stolen and you need to figure out which of the three suspects committed the crime. Spend time pouring over the clues to figure out how the person did it and why. This event will run until the end of the school day on Halloween.
