Mr and Mrs. McDougall Visit Our Classroom!

My parents came to my classroom and my dad sang and played the drum. We walked around him. They showed us a dream catcher. My mom brought bannock and we all ate it. We looked at mitts and my mom's wedding necklace. I'm glad they came and it was fun. - Cara-Lyn

Mr. and Mrs. McDougall came to our classroom to teach us about Aboriginal culture. Mr. McDougall speaks Ojibway. He is Cree and Ojibway. We did a "Round Dance". It was very fun doing the dance. It was about unity.  Mrs. McDougall showed us the medicine they used. They use sweet grass and sage. I got to wear the cradle board where they put the babies into. It was a lot of fun. - Molly

Day of Pink!

Standing for Respect!

Over 19,000 people across the province are standing for respect today as part of the third annual Red Cross Day of Pink. Red Cross Day of Pink, presented by RBC Royal Bank, brings awareness of the impact of bullying and what people can do to create safe and respectful communities.

Across Manitoba, more than 365 schools and businesses are hosting events that include film festivals, speakers’ series, rallies and parades to inspire their community to take action against bullying. For each official Red Cross Day of Pink t-shirt sold, the Red Cross can educate one community member to recognize and respond to bullying.

100th Day

Today was 100th Day! We made necklaces out of fruit loops. We had to put 100 fruit loops on our necklace. We also made crowns. We put 100 stickers on a crown. I ate a lot of fruit loops. They were good. I made a poster and I got a 100th Day certificate. It was a lot of fun. - Darius
