We would like to begin by acknowledging that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship”.

We also acknowledge that people of African ancestry have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years.

Our Sacred Teaching for today is Love:
Love is a force that is undeniable. With love all things are possible. It is everyone’s right to have and experience it.

This is Week 1 Today is Thursday, February 1st.

Today marks the beginning of African Heritage Month.  We will be highlighting Black Persons of Excellence each day on the announcements.  A class challenge will take place at the end of the month recapping the significant achievements of these noteworthy people. Homeroom teachers will be provided with the challenge slideshow and an answer sheet at that time. The class with the most correct answers will win a class treat. There will be one winning class for each grade.

Today we introduce to you a spoken word artist, who is also an educator, a journalist, and a community activist. She was the fifth poet laureate of Halifax and has received numerous awards for her work. Her name is Dr. El Jones
