Oki PFS Parents and Caregivers,
As we come to the end of Aapistsisskitsaato’s (May) and look towards Misamsootaamsta/ Ito’tsisamssootaa (June), we can appreciate that the rainy weather provides a long and much-needed drink for Na’a. Elder Saa'kokoto teaches us to appreciate the rain as Mother Earth transitions from Spring to Summer. Misamsootaamsta/Ito’tsisamssootaa, the month of June, translates to “when the long rains come.” Here is an old video of Saa’kokoto sharing about the upcoming month of June, Ito’tsisamssootaa.
Hand to Heart,
Crystal Good Rider & Shauna Penner
Principal & Assistant Principal
