 Principal’s Message 

It was another wonderful week of learning here at Copperfield School! This week, our students explored the themes of Truth and Reconciliation and learned about Phyllis Webstad, the creator of Orange Shirt Day, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. 

On Friday, during our assembly, students discovered the importance of connecting with the natural world around us. To further support our learning about Indigenous ways of knowing and being, Mr. Patry read Indigenous storybooks to each grade group, enriching our understanding and respect for Indigenous cultures. 

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to our incredible School Council for their ongoing support! At our first School Council meeting last Wednesday, they approved bringing in the Trickster Theatre artist-in-residence for our students from May 11 to 22. We are so grateful for this exciting opportunity and for the dedication of our Copperfield School community. Copperfield truly has heart! 

Kind Regards,   

Colette Pedde  

Principal, Copperfield School
