To the Parents and Guardians of The Hamptons School,

Thank you for continuing to teach your children their purpose:

I come to The Hamptons School to Learn.

Truth and Reconciliation Week

The CBE acknowledges Truth and Reconciliation Week each year in alignment with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.

Truth and Reconciliation Week invites all CBE staff, students, and families to engage in meaningful learning, reflection, and action. To advance the CBE Education Plan Goal: Truth & Reconciliation, schools and teams are invited to create opportunities that deepen understanding of the histories, experiences, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples.

This week is an important time in Canada to honour Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and reflect on our shared civic responsibility in the ongoing journey of ReconciliACTION.

Learning Resources

• National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation Education Resources
• Government of Alberta Indigenous Learning Resources
• Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund

Orange Shirt Day

Wearing orange on Orange Shirt Day honours Survivors of residential schools, remembers the children who never returned home, and acknowledges the lasting impacts of residential schools on families and communities.

The orange shirt is a symbol of the culture, language, identity, and freedom that were taken from Indigenous children, and a reminder that Every Child Matters.

Resources

• Government of Canada National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
• Orange Shirt Day Society

Assembly – Ms. Stetz’s Class

On Tuesday, September 30, Ms. Stetz’s class created an opportunity for reflection and learning as they taught us about Orange Shirt Day, Reconciliation, and the Acknowledgement of the Land.

They spoke from their hearts.

The students created, planned, and wrote the script for the assembly, including the following messages:

Every child deserves to feel safe.
Every child deserves to feel loved.
Every child deserves to learn.
Every child deserves to belong.
Every child matters.

What Can We Do?

It is something we work on together, all year long.

Ms. Stetz’s students reminded us to take time to connect with nature, and they also taught us to Let in the Light, as they shared a video with the whole school.

The morning was a valuable time for reflection and learning.

Thank you, Ms. Stetz’s class.
