On September 27th, F.W. Gilbert held their Truth and Reconciliation Day. Students, staff and parents were encouraged to wear orange in honour of the children who attended residential schools. Elder Mabel Bignell, her son Quintin, daughter-in-law Jessica and their family lead the school on a reflective walk. Following the walk, the students participated in a variety of activities focused on indigenous culture, community, and the history behind “orange shirt day”.

More international student fun this weekend : walked in and around the entire forks today, ate some beavertails, did some shopping and ate dinner in the forks market.

Our international students got this great experience today!! They went on a catfishing and a few even caught a master angler! They had the best time and so thankful for Mr. Thorbourne for taking them on this adventure!
The jerseys have finally come in and the Vasirty Girls VBall Team is loving every minute of them. They want to make a huge shout out and thank you to all the places for donating and giving support to their volleyball journey. A huge thank you to Tanco Mine for giving the girls team a more than generous donation for the jersey. Another huge shout out to Lisa and Solo Market for supplying the goods and venue for a major fundraiser. Thank you to Access Credit Union for supporting the program and net purchase. And thank you so much to the Pinawa Foundation for making a generous donation as well. Not only will these funds pay for the jerseys but also help support a field trip to the city to watch a college VBall game, get workshops, and support the cost of going to a tournament we just got into. The support our local and surrounding community has been for our team is outstanding and we are ready for this exciting season ahead!!!
