Looking Back...


During the 2017/2018 school year, we set out to include more opportunities to learn about and share Indigenous culture in meaningful and appropriate ways while boosting family engagement at A.A. Wright.
  

Through our after-school events such as drum making, beading, drum socials, and shaker making we were able to reach a lot of people, host many families at our school, make connections and form relationships.  

The relationships that were formed will help us in continuing to honour and celebrate the families at our school while sharing Indigenous culture with our school community as a whole.  


We have worked and are working to help the students and their families who are Indigenous to see themselves represented in our school environment. 


Through our after-school events this past year we saw an increase in family engagement and we are hoping to use the lessons learned to continue engaging families in the future.  
We have made many friends along the way and learned an important lesson:  Sharing a meal with students and families is a great way to start an event!

Hand Drum Making With A.A. Wright Families

Image
Family Event: Hand Drum Making By Gretchen Sands-Gamble As a result of the Calls To Action recommended by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, we at A.A. Wright are working with an elder from Walpole Island, Cecil Isaac, to do our part to bring indigenous ways of knowing and learning into our school in a meaningful way. We are focused on not only bringing new opportunities to our students, but also educating staff on appropriate ways to bring First Nations culture into the classroom. We want our students' experiences to be authentic and respectful. We also are focusing on getting more families into the school to experience these great learning opportunities. We are hoping to form more friendships and connections with the families of students who go to AA Wright, as well as make connections with people from the community who can come in and share their knowledge and expertise with our students. I sat with Cecil Isaac, and we came up with ways we can engage familie...

Family Drum Social and Tacos!

Family Drum Social and Tacos! With the school year coming to a close we wanted to have one more special event after school at A.A. Wright.  Since we had opportunities to invite families into the school to make drums and shakers we decided to have one more Family Drum Social after school.  We wanted to make it a special night, so we asked one of the moms at our school to make her delicious frybread and have some Anishinaabe Tacos (also called Indian Tacos, NDN Tacos, but always delicious). We invited all students, staff, and friends to come to our Family Drum Social.  We asked Cedric, Sandra and Lieghann Isaac to come and lead the social.  They have been to our school many times throughout the years to share their Anishinaabe and Mohawk culture with our students.  Cedric and Sandra have grandsons who go to our school and it's always special for the boys when their Misho (Ojibwe for "grandpa") and Tota (Mohawk for "grandparent") come to visit. ...

First Nation Cultural Celebration

On June 11th we held our 4th annual First Nation Cultural Celebration.  We sent invitations to all our students' families through Facebook posts and notes home on Seesaw to come and join us for this event.  We also invited community members who have regalia and dance in pow wows to come join in.  We had many visitors from the Wallaceburg and Bkejwanong communities joining us this day.   We were also joined by The Whiteye Singers.  They did a fantastic job drumming and singing all the songs for us this day.  We were joined by Tyler White from Bkejwanong to be our MC.  He is so generous and always does a great job sharing his knowledge of pow wows and Anishinaabe culture with our staff, students and families.   Miigwech, Tyler! We had 13 dancers this year!  I believe that it the most we've ever had, and we even had representatives for each style of dance!   After Grand Entry and demonstrations of e...
