Horse Lake Elementary
The Horse Lake Elementary grade 7 students, under the guidance of their teacher, Lisa Pugh, organized and presented our school's Orange Shirt Day Assembly. They began the ceremony with a Territorial Acknowledgement that they had authored, then introduced a video of Phyllis Webstad describing the origins of Orange Shirt Day. This was followed by a "What Is Truth and Reconciliation" video which explained the reason for the day being observed across the country. The assembly concluded with a video of the Women's Warrior Song to honor survivors by Elder Martina Pierre of the Lil'Wat Nation. The grade 7 students drummed and sang along with the song, while all the students circled the perimeter of the gym and did the Friendship Dance.
