Winter moves us to gather around fires, in our lodges and cozy under warm blankets at home. We settle in to listen to stories, the words of Elders and story tellers.
Truth and Reconciliation week was special at Salmo Elementary School. Not only was there an amazing display of support through the display of Orange Shirts, but there was a softness among the primary students, and a depth of curiosity and understanding among the intermediate grades. The experiences shared in all the classrooms and at the assembly, were incredibly rewarding this year.
At Erickson School each class is learning more every year about the former Residential Schools and Erickson School today. They have been talking about how they feel at their school today and how this differs from back then.
