Sackville Heights Junior High

October 24th, 2023

We would like to begin by acknowledging that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship”.

We also acknowledge that people of African ancestry have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years.

Our Sacred Teaching for today is truth:
if you cannot find it right where you are, where else do you expect to find it.

This is Week 2, today is Monday October 23rd

Today we will continue the Monday Morning mindfulness group. This is an opportunity to learn some mindfulness practices to help ease into the week. If you’re interested, please speak with your teacher and then join us in the library immediately following these morning announcements.
