Congratulations to our September Knights of the Month!

Today is National Custodian Appreciation Day.

Orange Shirt Day is a special day on September 30th when people wear orange shirts to remember and honor Indigenous children who were forced to go to residential or boarding schools. 🧡 Every Child Matters. 🧡 Every Child Belongs. 🧡 Every Child Deserves Kindness and Respect. Yesterday was a reminder of the importance of honoring Indigenous children and the history of residential schools while continuing to build schools where everyone feels safe, valued, and included. The 4th grade honored every single child by wearing orange to remind everyone that Every Child Matters.
