Sept. 26th – 30th – National Truth & Reconciliation Week

Classes at Rousseau might participate in lessons this week to help children understand the affects of the Canadian Indian Residential School system on Indigenous youth and their descendants. Sources may included read alouds appropriate to your child’s age. Please reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions.

If you plan to purchase orange shirts for your family, please consider an Indigenous-owned company or company that is donating it’s profits to Indigenous-led initiatives.
