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 Respect:
In all life, respect is the first and foremost. Respect oneself and respect will be bestowed.

Ms Finn is here today but will then be off for the next three weeks. Ms Oldford will be open to seeing any SHJH students who are looking for counseling support starting Thursday and through to the start of the winter break. We will also have another counselor, named Ms MacDonald, who will see any students looking for support.
Ms. MacDonald (the counselor, not the math teacher), will be using Ms Finn’s office on Tuesdays and Fridays. To see a counselor just put a slip in as usual and either Ms Oldford or Ms MacDonald will follow up with you. Ms Finn will be back at the start of January.
