Hello, I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you. Thank you to our NLS families for supporting everyone this year! To my students - thank you for being such a wonderful class this year. It has been such a joy to be your teacher this year. I am so excited for your next part of the journey in life! You will have such a good time in middle school and I can't wait to see all that you accomplish in life. I wish you all the best, I hope you have the best adventures.                                                                                                        Your teacher,                                                                                                                         Ms. Clark

 Hello NLS families, Today is an important day. Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day (and June is National Indigenous Peoples Month). We did many special activities to recognize and honour this day, the Indigenous Peoples and the land we live on. For example, we: played indigenous games in gym class - ask me a game that we played today watched the NLS Land Acknowledgement (it was just made last week) watched a Summer Solstice video with an Indigenous Elder who taught us all about the summer solstice  made a piece off artwork that represented the land and the buffalo - we used many art techniques to complete this task - see photos below  learned about the new flags that our school has, and what they mean  We also: learned about a few key moments in Canadian Identity  Reminders: tomorrow we are tie-dying! Please wear dark clothes OR clothes that you don't mind potentially getting tie-dye on (students will be wearing gloves, but we don't have aprons, etc). If you have not yet
