National Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day
This week, ASD-W and Perth-Andover Middle school will be intentionally teaching about Truth and Reconciliation. Both Orange Shirt Day and National Truth and Reconciliation Day take place on Saturday, September 30th. We will recognize this very important day by honoring Indigenous children whose lives were taken, as well as survivors, their families, and communities. PAMS continues to integrate this important teaching throughout the entire school year.
