Our Land Acknowledgement shows recognition of and respect for Indigenous peoples from the past and the present. We acknowledge that the property of Richland Academy is situated upon traditional territories of the Anishinabek, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit, Mississauga and the Wendat peoples.
Recognizing this land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial.
One of the many pleasures of working with children is their excitement, particularly at this time of the year. The JK students have written letters to Santa, and we couldn’t help but share some of their comments.
Dear Santa…
“I would like you to give everyone presents.”
“I wish I had a toy for you too!”
“I’m learning letters in my classroom.”
“I’ll make you some cookies. Chocolate chip ones.”
“I would like a puppy. I will name him Doggie.”
“I wanted to know your phone number. Mine is 898.”
