Pink Shirt Day assembly held by zoom this year. Such a great way to feel connected in this new world!
You have to love Port Hardy weather....atleast the kids did! Snow, hail, rain and sun within 10 minutes.
Today is Pink Shirt Day at the school. Today is a reminder that when need to work together and treat others with dignity and maya’xala (respect). "Lifting each other up” and supporting healthy self esteem and teaching empathy, compassion and kindness is one that we strive to do everyday at the Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw School.

Gilakas'la to Ravena for once again providing our students and staff with pink shirts, and to Walter Brown for the amazing design!
