Titans' Times
Week of Sept. 26-30, 2022
NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION, SEPTEMBER 30TH
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30 is to honour survivors, their families, and communities, and ensure a public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools. This day coincides with Orange Shirt Day, which carries a very important message: that every child matters. Our school division is honouring the day as a Statutory Holiday so the school will be closed.
As a school community, we will commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Thursday, September 29th, and encourage all students and staff to wear orange on that day. We will begin our morning with prayers in the classrooms, and then there will be classroom activities completed around the theme of "Remembering the Children".
We will share next week some of the learning the classes and students do around truth and reconciliation.
Blessings for a wonderful week ahead,
Mrs. Lisa Kleparchuk, Principal
Mrs. Sheri Crowston, Vice Principal

KAPOW POPS ARE BACK!!
What to Ask Your Kid Instead of “How Was Your Day?”
Sometimes, it can feel like pulling teeth when trying to get your child to describe how their day went.
A simple response: “Good” might seem like a decent answer to the question “How was your day?”, but it doesn’t really give us any specific idea of how the day went.
Big Life Journal has provided some easy tips for engaging in meaningful conversation with your child that will allow you to connect on a deeper level.
