It was a fun day in the gym class because we shot some hoops, I worked out with Taish, and I can see that every day, he and I are making progress. That's what I like about working with Taish, workout wise, and the rest of the class as well, they do a lot for themselves.
We are a leadership team at Bert Fox Community High School promoting and facilitating Truth and Reconciliation. We were given our name by Kete-ayah (Elder) Alma Poitras. Using Indigenous ways of knowing, place based education, experiential learning, strength-based philosophies, and workshop facilitation the students earn grade eleven and twelve credits; many students are also able to complete their grade twelve diploma within the year.
