If you can make some time on June 23rd or 24th Ecole Lac des Bois is putting on an Indigenous Culture week and needs your help. Here are the details provided by Vice Principal Cliff Waldie:

Thursday, June 23 – Roughly 10-20 parent volunteers

There will be 10 stations, including a concession with ideally 1-2 parents at each station to help run it for students as they arrive. The stations will be pre-designed and setup, by the LDB leadership students and there will most likely be leadership students at the station as well.

Friday, June 24 – Roughly 8-10 Parents volunteers

Parents / Guardians needed to assist in the bannock making for the school. The dough will be pre-pared ahead of time, but the parents will be involved in the cooking and distribution process.

Don’t have your forms volunteer forms submitted?
If you don’t have your criminal record check done yet it is not too late. If you have trouble getting the forms from the office simply call the office and have the forms sent home with your child. Criminal record checks are saved on file and are good for 3 years so you will be ready to volunteer for next year if you act now.

A message from the DPAC Executive about DPAC’s June’s meeting theme of Truth and Reconciliation:

Hadih – Good day,

We will meet at the outdoor Indigenous Learning space at Rainbow Drive and Ospika Blvd for drumming, connection, refreshments.  We will have an informal meeting style to encourage sharing and collaboration.  

Representatives from the Indigenous Education department and SD57’s new Indigenous Assistant Superintendent, Pam Spooner, will be on hand to share updates on the progress since the 2021 Special Advisor’s report.  We will also discuss the new draft policies on Anti-Racism and Indigenous Racial Reconciliation which are open for public feedback through October 12. 
 

Mussi – Thank you,

DPAC Executive
