Fort Simpson Grad 2021

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the person who'll decide where to go."

Congratulations again Grads 2021! Remember Fort Simpson, Kakisa, and Jean Marie will be here cheering you on every step from here on out!

Grade 6 Grad Ceremony photos! This was a beautiful day celebrating these now Junior High-ers. This would not have been able to happen without the help of Open Sky who let us borrow their pop up tents. Included in the photos is our buddy Jonah Greencorn who left us midwinter. Not pictured Ehndaa Antoine.

Good luck to these great kids, they are all one of a kind and destined for greatness.
