Sackville Heights Junior High

January 22nd, 2024

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 Humility:
In life we need to understand humility. Humility is the factor, which allows us to ask humbly for guidance.

This is Week 2 Today is Monday, January 22nd.

Monday Morning Mindfulness will be held this morning in the library. If you’re interested, please speak with your teacher and then join us in the library immediately following these morning announcements.

• On Bell Let’s Talk Day, January 24,   Sackville Heights will be joining in to help create positive change for mental health.
Don’t forget, you can text, call, and join the conversation on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat.
This morning we’re sharing with you another action we can all take to help create positive change. Take care of your own mental health: listen to your mind and body; ask for help and take some time if you are struggling or feeling overwhelmed. You might take a walk, reach out to a friend, or talk to a teacher. Remember it’s okay to not be okay.
