Schools Collaborate for Aboriginal Storytelling Week

Teachers Celia Hammerton (Central School) and Amy Collins (École Centennial) worked through a collaborative piece with their students for Aboriginal Storytelling Week. Their Grade 4 and 5 classes created, rehearsed and filmed "The Story of Jumping Mouse: A First Nations Legend. Retold by John Steptoe". The students also created art pieces based on the work of Saskatchewan artist Leah Dorion, and will be watching each other's performances this week!
Chalk Footprints for 215 Children

Students at Fairview School created chalk footprints in honour and remembrance of the 215 school children from the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia.
Sidney Street School Recognition of 215 Children

At Sidney Street School in Maple Creek, Principal Rob Stewart shared the following message over the intercom on Monday, May 31.

"Welcome back everyone, it is always such a happy place to call work and to learn. This is not the same for everyone and today we take some time to remember some of the past that was not a very good time for Canada.

You may have noticed that the flag outside the school is hanging at half-mast and that some people in the building are wearing orange. When the flag is at half mast it recognizes the death or deaths of important people or in some cases very sad events. We have used orange shirts in the past to recognize Orange Shirt Day with the slogan, ‘Every child matters.”

These two things are being done today because we found out in the news of a very sad thing. There was a Residential school in British Columbia where they found the graves of over 200 children. This is especially sad because it is highly unlikely that their parents ever knew about what had happened to their child or children. The residential schools were started when Canada was just a very new country.

I have always been proud of how all of us at Sidney School are welcoming to everyone no matter who they are. Today I would like everyone to take it in their hearts to be ever extra kind to each other.

I know that this is a difficult thing to explain to everyone, but I felt that it was important to share with each and every one of you today as part of our Sidney Family. Teachers, please take some time to help your students understand as best we can.

To help honour the many children who have suffered, I would like each and every one of you to make a symbol of kindness, hope, or caring in a positive and meaningful way. We will assemble these and put them out to fill our school with positive feelings."

These images include some of the pieces of the collection, which is now displayed in front of the school's Inclusion Mural. The Co-op donated the clay that allowed students to complete this meaningful and timely show of respect.
