National Day of Truth and Reconciliation 🧡 Today, students and staff at Sir John Moore wore orange to honour and remember the children who were taken from their families and communities by the residential school system. By wearing orange today, and every Wednesday throughout the school year, we recognize the ongoing impact of residential schools and reaffirm our commitment to truth, reconciliation, and creating a future where every child matters.

Way to go, Room 18— keep up the great work! 💪📚✨

Today SJM students participated in the 45th annual Terry Fox Run.
