Good afternoon Parents and Guardians 

This week, we had Sandra Lamouche share her wisdom and knowledge with us through storytelling and hoop dance. Sandra Lamouche is from Bigstone Cree Nation in northern Alberta and is a multidisciplinary creator and storyteller, she is a Champion Hoop Dancer, award winning Indigenous Educational Leader, two-time TEDx Speaker, artist, and writer.  Sandra’s beauty and precision of hoop dancing was captivating, and students and staff were left with a lasting impression. Thank you to School Council for your generosity in funding this special presenter.
