Order Your Orange Shirt for September 26, 2024
Orange Shirt Day was created during the St. Joseph Mission Residential School Commemoration Project in Williams Lake, BC, in May 2013. As part of the project, former student, Phyllis (Jack) Webstad, told the story of her first day at residential school when her shiny new orange shirt, bought by her grandmother, was taken from her as a six-year old girl, which prompted the realization that many survivors have similar stories. As a result, Orange Shirt Day is gaining visibility as an influential movement helping to educate our students and communities on the history of Canadian Residential Schools.
Students will participate in a variety of related discussions in their classrooms.
You can order your Orange Shirt by clicking . Orders are due by Tuesday, September 17th. No late orders will be accepted.
