THE SEVEN SACRED TEACHINGS
In some Nations, sweetgrass is
braided using seven strands.
Each strand represents one of
the Severn Sacred Teachings,
also known as the Grandfather
Teachings. When we follow
these teachings, we live in
greater harmony and peace,
not just in our own hearts and
lives, but also in our families,
schools, and society as a whole.

Thank you to everyone for their
support with the Hot Lunch
Program as we had over 200
orders! That being said, with
large volumes it is very difficult to
make last minute changes such as
saving and pulling lunches due to
absences. Parents are welcome to
pick up their absent student's
lunch between 12:15 pm and 12:45
pm. All absent student's lunches
are 'pulled and placed aside.
Please contact PAC if you are
wanting to pick up your student's
lunch -
please do NOT post on Facebook.
PAC appreciates your
understanding with this issue
