Our March 1 assembly started with a land acknowledgment, read by Fiala and Daisy. Next, we sang O Canada. Mrs. Doherty had students review WITS – Walk away, Ignore, Talk It Out, Seek Help – to show strategies that students could use when confronted with a difficult situation. We sang a song about WITS to help us remember what the acronym stands for. We thank Fat Cat for joining us in our Celebration Dance.
