Orange Shirt Day: What It Means and How Families Can Take Part
Every year on September 30, communities across Canada observe Orange Shirt Day, a time to honour the survivors of residential schools, remember those who never made it home, and reflect on the lasting impact these schools had on Indigenous families and communities.
When we asked some of the local Kindergarten teachers what they hope to see in their students coming into Kindergarten they all said strong independence/self-help skills. In a preschool classroom with 24 kids and two teachers, we ask that all the kids at least TRY to put on their own outdoor gear.
