Every Child Matters at Anahim Lake School

We celebrated Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day this whole month. Younger children made paper chains out of orange paper with handwritten mantras for those they loved. Older students made calzone for every child to take home this past Food Friday and Perogies two weeks previously. We took our beautiful, student-made stand up paddleboards to launch at a local lake but ended up playing on the beach instead. It turns out that it's easy for non-locals to get lost on roads leading to our community. We will shoot for another launch in the spring. All was not lost as our Denisiqi friends made a fire for us all to share in its warmth.
