School Story in Action 2024-2025

October 24, 2024

This week we would like to highlight the identity project from Cohort 1. Students have been talking about their names and how this is part of their identities. After conversations with their families, students shared the origin and country of their names as well as the cultural practices and naming conventions. This project will be moving to explore the historical significance of names in the community, for example Steves Farm, Homma, Spul’u’kwuks. The teachers are also participating by sharing their name story, as a way to share culture, where they came from and who they are.
