National Red Dress Day May 5, 2024

Sunday, May 5 is Red Dress Day, a day to remember and honour missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two spirited individuals (MMIWG2S+) along with our LGBTQQIA+ peoples . Red Dress Day serves as a painful reminder of the ongoing genocidal crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people and invites solidarity and action.

We will recognize this sombre day on Monday, May 6 here at Northeast Kings.  Wearing a red dress, shirt or other pieces of red clothing on Monday will show solidarity to our Indigenous friends and families. 

 Katheryn will have individual stickers to pass out to each student who is wearing red on Monday.  These stickers were designed by Indigenous students who were asked to create an image that represents the MMIWGB2S movement. These stickers are being distributed to students who are of an age where RESPECT and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT for this sombre day should be known.  These stickers are to be treated with respect and used in ways to pass along the truths faced by so many within Canada.  The individual families who are directly affected by violence against these sacred beings know the lasting impacts of losing a loved one.  Through this  movement and by recognizing this day, hopefully more respect and importance can be given to Indigenous Women, Girls, Boys, and Two Spirited individuals and all the power and knowledge that is held can be passed on to them.  Please try to wear something red on Monday to show your support.

Track and Field

Well done to all those that completed at the practice meet last night at King's Edgehill School. It was a cool evening for Track, but we had several athletes run and jump their personal bests, posting times and distances which should be competitive this year. This is a great indicator of things to come. 

All runners will be practising at the Acadia track on Tuesday. We will need to find transportation for everyone. Please see Mr. Wood or Mrs. Baldwin to communicate how you plan to get to Acadia, and if you have room in an approved driver’s vehicle.
