Our first family language night of the 2024/25 school year will be held on September 12, 2024.
The theme for this year's family language nights is seasonal rounds.
Our first fall gathering will focus on the story of Naapi ki Mi'ksinittsimiksi, "Napi and the Bull Berries," which teaches us about picking bull berries after the first fall frost.
Families will learn about the story, and then play Ohkotokiooyis, the Stone House Game.
