Oki, Tansi, Umba-wathtich, Danita ada, Aanii, Hello PFS Families and Caregivers,
PFS looks forward to welcoming families on Thursday, September 26 from 9:00-11:30am for our Meet the Teacher Pancake Breakfast. Elders who work with our school will be joining us for the breakfast, and we hope you will take the opportunity to meet them. Please bring a blanket to sit on for the breakfast which will be in the gym. During the Meet the Teacher Pancake Breakfast, we will also be acknowledging Orange Shirt Day and Truth and Reconciliation Day; please remember to wear an orange shirt that day.
A special thank-you to the Batter Boys from the Calgary Stampede for cooking breakfast for us, and to Brown Bagging for Calgary Kids for sponsoring the event.
Thank you to families and friends who joined us last week for our Fall Blessing Ceremony and Face Painting Ceremony. It is always an honor and privilege to learn from the Elders and to spend time in ceremony together. We look forward to inviting families to additional ceremonies and cultural events throughout the year.
