A huge thank you to Massey RONA & Ouimette Family Builders for their generous donation. Our students will enjoy a new Buddy Bench on our school yard next year!

The Buddy Bench is a spot where children can sit when they are feeling lonely or need someone to talk to. 💙

Tomorrow is our final Colour House Playday of the 2025-26 school year!

It is a splash-themed day, so students can expect to get a little bit wet. Shorts, t-shirts, socks and running shoes are recommended attire, as students will be running and competing in various challenges in the school yard.

Bringing sunscreen, a hat, a towel, and a change of clothes is a good idea, but no bathing suits, please!

Today marks National Indigenous Peoples Day.

In 1982, the First Peoples of Canada, through their collective voice within the Assembly of First Nations, advocated for the recognition of a national Indigenous solidarity day. This day would acknowledge unity amongst Indigenous Peoples in Canada, reinforce harmony, and strengthen the efforts of a nation-to-nation partnership with the federal Government of Canada.

In 1996, the Governor General of Canada designated June 21st as National Aboriginal Day, and in 2009, the House of Commons passed a motion to declare the month of June as National Indigenous History Month.

National Indigenous History Month is an opportunity for all Canadians to actively learn about the achievements and innovations of Indigenous Peoples, and to gain an understanding of the Indigenous lands and territories that we are situated. It is also an opportune time for all Canadians to recognize and join in the celebrations of the resiliency and strength of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples in Canada and the Anishinabek within this territory.

The Anishinaabek Nation also proclaimed June 6th as Anishinaabe Giizhigad to annually recognize the sanctioning of the Anishinaabek Chi-Naaknigewin - Anishinaabek Nation Constitution.

We are encouraged to learn more about Indigenous Peoples, particularly the Anishinaabek and the traditional territory where Rainbow District School Board is situated, observe and appreciate Indigenous ways of knowing, and attend one of the many community events that recognize and celebrate the importance of National Indigenous Peoples Day.
