Dear Parent or Guardian,

 

We will be starting sewing in Home Economics on October 24 and the students are required to supply their own fabric or purchase a sewing kit from the school.

MTS Orange Shirt Day at Bruce

MTS Orange Shirt Day at Bruce

 

On Friday, Sept 30, students and staff participated in The Manitoba Teacher’s Society Orange Shirt Day to honour survivors of residential schools and to acknowledge that every child matters. The day is part of the Truth and Reconciliation: Calls to Action on Education. Students and staff wore orange as a sign of respect and to raise awareness about the “cultural genocide” on the First Nations people, brought on by residential schools. Students also participated in class activities to highlight the importance of respecting diversity at school and beyond.
