October 1: Orange Shirt Day

September 26, 2018
Today we recognize Orange Shirt Day. Our school community will come together to recognize the impact that residential schools had and in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come. Orange Shirt Day is a show of solidarity in commemoration of an event that was held in Williams Lake, BC in the spring of 2013. Williams Lake was home to the St. Joseph Mission residential school and this event grew out of the story of a young girl (Phyllis) who had her “shiny new orange shirt” taken away on her first day of school.
