On Monday, October 1, FHPS will be honouring Orange Shirt Day.
Orange Shirt Day is
a day where we encourage staff and students to wear orange to honour the
strength and courage of children who experienced Canada's residential school
system. Furthermore, this day is an opportunity for First Nations, local
governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of
reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.
For students who do not have
Orange shirts - we have you covered! Bill Hogarth SS has designed orange
"Every Child Matters" buttons. We will be selling these buttons in the morning, recess and lunch on Monday.
Encourage your
children to pick up a pin for a donation of 50 cents and show their support for
reconciliation. Funds raised will be donated to the Legacy of Hope Foundation
whose purpose is to educate, raise awareness and
understanding of the legacy of residential schools, and to support the ongoing
healing process of Residential School Survivors.
Thanks for your support!
