Dear Midnapore Families,

Please see important upcoming information about the week ahead.

Earlier this week, the Midnapore School community came together for a meaningful Orange Shirt Day assembly, followed by a community walk.

Our students and staff demonstrated care, respect, and a shared commitment to learning about the truth of Canada’s residential school history and to advancing the work of reconciliation.

Thank you to our students and staff for helping make this such a meaningful day. Together, we continue to learn, listen, remember, and take action toward a future grounded in respect, understanding, and reconciliation.

Orange Shirt Day 橙色衫日

On September 29, our entire Midnapore School community came together for a special Orange Shirt Day assembly and community walk.

Through age-appropriate learning and reflection, students learned about the meaning of Orange Shirt Day and the history and impact of residential schools. Together, we reflected on the importance of reconciliation, respect, kindness, and inclusion.

It was wonderful to have our whole school together — learning, reflecting, and walking as one community. It was a meaningful and memorable day for all of us.

橙色衫日 Orange Shirt Day

9月29日，我们全校师生齐聚一堂，共同参加了橙色衫日主题集会和社区步行活动。

通过适合孩子年龄的学习和分享，学生们了解了橙色衫日的由来和意义，也对加拿大原住民寄宿学校的历史及其带来的影响有了初步的认识。我们也借此机会和孩子们一起学习和思考和解、尊重、友善与包容的重要意义。

这也是一次难得的全校相聚。大家身穿橙色，一起学习、一起思考、一起步行，在共同参与中感受彼此的尊重与关爱。对我们来说，这是非常特别而有意义的一天。
