Holy Family School celebrated Aboriginal Day on June 17.
Festivities during the day included learning about and playing traditional aboriginal games taught by Lamarr Oksasikewiyi, who is from Saskatoon.Â
Ray Fox, city councillor, attended opening exercises and spoke about aboriginal culture.Â
Nikita Larocque, a Grade 7 student from Holy Family School, danced.
 Oksasikewiyi, with the help from various students, raised a small teepee in the gym. Each teepee pole represents a value.Â
Shalen Fox, graduation coach from John Paul II Collegiate, along with Savannah Meechance and Jontay Kahmakoatayo spoke to the Grade 6 and 7 students. Jontay has designed and created a collection of women’s dresses that are beautiful. Their message was follow your dream, work hard to achieve your goals and have fun along the way. Holy Family students were impressed and inspired by their presentation.Â
For lunch, the school served Indian tacos. The bannock was prepared by Lucy Whitecalf, Jolinne Durand and her daughter Ella, along with Ms. Inkster and her sister. Lunch was delicious.
