<p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">On Friday, June 19, HPE students and staff will acknowledge National Indigenous People’s Day.&nbsp; At 1:00 pm in the front field students will be participating in a whole school song entitled&nbsp;</span><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">O’Siem</em></i><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">&nbsp;by Susan Aglukark, an Indigenous artist and songwriter. Susan Aglukark was the first Inuk performer to secure a Top-10 hit in Canada. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We chose&nbsp;</span><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">O Siem</em></i><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">&nbsp;because it shares an important message about inclusion, friendship, equality, and respect—values that are central to Indigenous cultures and to the spirit of National Indigenous Peoples Day. By learning and singing this song, students are engaging with an Indigenous artist’s voice and reflecting on how we can treat one another with kindness and understanding. In addition, our lovely Ms. Laura will be singing and leading the grade 5’s in drumming.&nbsp; </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">On Friday, June 19 students are encouraged to wear the following colours representing the colours of Canada, our school and also when put together, represent the colours of the Nunavut flag, where Susan Aglukark is from.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Sandberg, Myhre, and Johnson, Terrell and Cooper (Grade k/1) – red</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Kalf, Fassbender and Ricard (Grade 2 and 2/3) – white</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Coombs and Daughtry (Grade 3 and 3/4) – yellow</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">MacDonald, Benge, Byrnes and Vallance (Grade 4/5) – blue</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If families would like to attend, they can observe from in front of the school's main entrance or along the kiss and ride side walk.
