Truth and Reconciliation day marks an important point in Canada's modern history.
After years of neglecting the nation's indigenous population, steps have finally been taken to work towards reconciliation and justice for the discrimination indigenous peoples have faced throughout Canadian history.
Although we are grateful to have this Friday away from school, we urge you to spend some time to think about why.

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day! On this summer solstice, and on every day, everyone at Meadowridge values the opportunity to learn, live, play, and share experiences on the ancestral, unceded territory of the Katzie, Kwantlen, and Sto:lo First Nation. We are committed to building strong meaningful relationships and positive partnerships with all the traditional keepers and stewards of this land.

Happy Pride everyone! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
As we venture off on our WWOW trips and the first days of Pride pass, let's all keep in mind the theme of this year's Pride:
"Justice with Joy"
Take some time to think about what our school and community can do to change to be more inclusive and accepting.
As a school in Canada, it is difficult to watch as America passes homophobic and transphobic bill one after another. It begs the question of whether or not Canada is next.
It's times like these where we must come together as a community to show our q***r friends that we have their backs, and they are not alone.

Hey everyone!
Next week Senior Council will be hosting a dumpling fest! As a celebration for Asian Heritage Month, the parent guild and social justice committee will be bringing in dumplings, samosas, and a variety of Asian snacks.
Everything will be $1-2 dollars so bring around $5 to try some different foods. All proceeds will go towards an Asian heritage foundation.
We'll be located in the cafeteria by the doors.
We hope to see you there!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first dance in over 2 1/2 years! We were glad to be back together.
Special thanks to our Dance Committee for all the planning!
Go, Gryphons!

Hey everyone! This is our third week of posting for Black History Month! We hope you have all been enjoying these posts this month.
This week, the post is about the Harlem Renaissance which was the renewing and rebirth of Black culture across America and the world!
Students learn about this topic when they read "A Raisin in the Sun" in the tenth grade and "The Great Gatsby" in the eleventh grade.
