This week, in the spirit of reconciliation, and in support and acknowledgement of Indigenous children who attended residential schools and never returned home, Nelson Rural School staff and students will be walking for Wenjack. Our loose change campaign for the rest of this month will go to this cause. Anyone outside our building can donate using the following link.
