SUMMER SOLSTICE


Today the grade 7s (both classes) attended the National Aboriginal Festival as part of their year end trip, where they learned about the cultures of Metis, Inuit and First Nations. They played the Inuit bone and stick game, watched a Pow Wow with Metis dancers, and attended a theatre production by a First Nations group. Although it was a hot day, the students had lots of fun and celebrated the day supporting Aboriginal artisans by purchasing beautiful jewelry, dream-catchers and other decorative items.
