在发现在坎卢普斯前住宿学校的遗址上埋葬的215名儿童后，一位五年级学生在我们Ramsay School发起了一场学校范围内的集体活动，为我们的坚韧石园绘制了215块橙色石头。

在2020-21学年里，我们整个学校的探究项目以“说出来！世界需要你的声音”为主题，这是受到彼得·雷诺兹的文本启发而来。我们对她在住宿学校历史问题上的领导力和关心以及她对公民责任的示范感到自豪。现在，我们的Ramsay学校的坚韧石园里有215块精美的石头艺术品，都是由我们幼儿园至六年级的学生绘制的。

一年级/二年级的学生们还在外面种植了一些菊花，并与他们的老师Paradis女士一起创作了一幅壁画。菊花是多年生植物，将在九月份达到全盛时期，正好赶上橙衬衫日。这些学生们已经学到了运用自己的声音采取行动的多种方式。

在Ramsay，我们非常感激社区成员、学生和员工们表达出的关心和支持，并以穿橙色表示对加拿大住宿学校真相的承认以及对和解的集体承诺。我们也意识到这对于我们体系和社区中的许多家庭和员工来说是个艰难的时期。

After the discovery of 215 children found buried on the site of a former Kamloops residential school, a Grade 5 student at Ramsay School used her voice to initiate a school-wide collection and painting of 215 orange rocks for our Resiliency Rock Garden.

Throughout the 2020-21 school year, our school-wide inquiry has been around the statement: “Say Something! The World Needs Your Voice," inspired by Peter Reynolds' text. We are proud of her leadership and care around the topic of residential school history and her demonstration of citizenship. There are now 215 pieces of beautiful rock art in our resiliency rock garden at Ramsay School, all painted by our Kindergarten – Grade 6 students.

The Grade 1/2 classes then planted blanket flowers outside and worked to create a mural with their teacher, Ms. Paradis. Blanket flowers are perennials and will be in their full glory in September, just in time for Orange Shirt Day. These students have learned that there are many ways to use your voice to take action.

At Ramsay, we are grateful to the community members, students and staff who have voiced their care and support and who have worn orange, in recognition of acknowledging the truths of the residential schools in Canada and a collective commitment to reconciliation. We also recognize the difficulty of this time for many families and staff throughout our system and community.
