Our school community will engage in meaningful learning of the upcoming Spring Equinox that indicates the beginning of a new season. In keeping with honouring and sharing Blackfoot and Treaty 7 teachings and stories, we would like to share with you the following:

Once again, Na'toosi (Grandfather Sun) and Kokomikisomm (Grandmother Moon) will share the sky equally, providing a balance of day and night. Motoyi (spring in Blackfoot) is a time of renewal and new beginnings. After a season of rest, the land comes to life with new growth, movement, and sounds - green grass appears, the rivers thaw, beavers emerge from their winter lodges, and buffalo calves are born.

“This is a time to acknowledge all the beautiful changes...Springtime is a time of celebration. It is also a time of reflection-- to look back and learn from the journey we have had throughout the year and how we can carry that forward.” - Elder Saa’kokoto
