Our 2019 Powwow on April 18 was a resounding success! It was wonderful to see the community come together to celebrate Indigenous culture and enjoy each other's company. So many families and such beautiful regalia. Here are a few pics from that evening. #RETSDPowwow

Chief Peguis is starting a movement for change! Each student and staff member was asked to commit to one change they could make to help our earth. The students stepped up and are now spreading the word through social media. #chiefpeguismakeschange 🌎

Board vice-chair Jerry Sodomlak (second from left) and our senior administration team take a break from the feast for a quick pic in front of the tipi in the River East Collegiate gym. #RETSDPowwow

The tipi is up, vendors are showing their wares, and folks are feasting. Many families, a lot of smiles and laughter. About a half hour until Grand Entry and the Powwow begins.😀 #RETSDPowwow

Bernie Wolfe Community School marked International Day of Pink on April 10 with students and staff alike wearing pink to support anti-bullying efforts. To learn more about this special day, visit: www.pinkshirtday.ca (Photos by Norbert K. Iwan) Joseph Teres School supported International Day of Pink by wearing pink, along with their own JT Be a Buddy bracelet. These bracelets were offered to all students for $2 as a fundraiser to support Elisa, the school’s foster child from Bolivia. The bracelet also reinforces their school pledge— “I am a buddy, not a bully.” #DayofPink
