St. James Native-as-a-Second-Language (NSL) Program Participates in Atikameksheng Veterans Ceremony 💬

On November 8th, the St. James Native-as-a-Second-Language (NSL) Program had the honour of participating in the Atikameksheng Veterans Ceremony. During the ceremony, students proudly sang the National Anthem in both Anishnawbemowin and English, paying tribute to the sacrifices made by veterans and showing respect for the cultural heritage of the community.

The event provided a meaningful opportunity for students to learn more about the significance of Remembrance Day and the importance of acknowledging the contributions of those who served in times of war. In addition to the performance, students were gifted with a special lesson on the proper salute and its critical role during wartime, deepening their understanding of respect and honour in times of conflict.

St. James School is grateful to have been part of this special occasion and looks forward to continuing to engage students in activities that foster remembrance and respect for the sacrifices of the past.
