Orange Shirt Day - September 30, 2020

A reminder that Burton Elementary School will be participating in the National Orange Shirt Day​ in recognition of the struggles our First Nations people had so many years ago. The events were designed to commemorate the residential school experience, to witness and honour the healing journey of the survivors and their families, and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation. 

Here is the link to the Orange Shirt Day website so you can learn more about the history of why it was created: https://www.orangeshirtday.org/about-us.html 

So, everyone please wear Orange on Wednesday, September 30th!! Our Administrative Assistant, Mrs. Morabito will try to get some class photos to commemorate the day!
