Dear Spencer Families,

As we observe both Indigenous Day of Veteran’s Day on November 8 and Remembrance Day on November 11, we are reminded of the importance of honouring those who have experienced loss, injustice, and sacrifice. These days invite us to reflect on Canada's history with honesty, respect, and gratitude.

At Spencer Middle School, we recognize the resilience of Indigenous Peoples and remember those impacted by colonial policies and historical wrongs. We also take time to honour the brave Canadians who served and sacrificed in times of war and conflict to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. We will come together on November 10 at 11:00 as a school community to honour the day.

Learning about these important events helps our students deepen their understanding of the Spencer school values of empathy, honesty, kindness and respect. Through reflection, discussion, and acts of remembrance, we strengthen our commitment to building a future based on reconciliation, respect, and peace.

Lest we forget. May we also continue to learn, listen, and walk together on the path of understanding.

Your PVP Team
