ORANGE SHIRT DAY

Prestige School will be participating in Orange Shirt Day. This is a day when we wear an orange shirt to honour the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada. We also spend time learning more about the history of those schools and the effects on the Indigenous community.

On Friday, September 29th, students can pay $2 to wear an orange shirt. All proceeds will go towards the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund. This fund’s goal is to improve the lives of Indigenous people by building awareness, education and connections between all peoples in Canada.

Please send $2 with your child, to give to their homeroom teacher by Monday, September 25th. If your child will not be wearing an orange shirt, then Friday, September 29th, is a regular school uniform day – it is not casual day.

Thank you for your support.
