In recognition of #TruthAndReconciliationWeek, we read the story "Le chandail orange de Phyllis", and each student coloured an orange shirt. @StVeronicaOCSB #ocsbIndigenous #OrangeShirtDay pic.twitter.com/4SnQ8a9VRG

Today's first day of #ForestSchool was a huge success here @StPatricksOCSB ! So blessed to be able to visit this beautiful space. We even located a huge cluster of mushrooms! Perhaps they're #oystermushrooms @ocsbindigenous @ocsbEco pic.twitter.com/bMFHIX2hhY

In our classroom and across the school, we are opening doors to Truth & Reconciliation by embracing Indigenous teachings, learning their histories, & fostering respect for all. Together, we can create a path toward understanding and healing. @StMonicaOCSB @ocsbindigenous pic.twitter.com/Erhfe6WUV6
