Good afternoon Tornadoes!
Tomorrow is National Truth and Reconciliation Day across Canada. At St. Teresa, we will continue to bring awareness to our school community. We begin each school day with our land acknowledgment – blessing the land on which we gather and showing respect for our heritage. Each class will be acknowledging the day with different activities and discussions. We will all participate in a special virtual presentation by First Nations NBA Entertainer Quincy Mack on location from The Six Nations of the Grand River, where our students will learn the true meaning of Orange Shirt Day from the founder Phyllis Webstad herself. In a combination of storytelling, music, and sports, this powerful presentation also celebrates the fact reconciliation is enabling us to heal and begin to move forward.
Please show your respect tomorrow by wearing orange!
