The Holocaust was the systemic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jewish people by the Nazi regime and its allies, and it’s critical that we not allow this cruel chapter of modern history to fade from memory. #Holocaust #HolocaustEducationWeek #yrdsb

#YomKippur is the holiest, most important day of the year in Judaism, known as the “Day of Atonement.” It begins at sundown October 4, and ends Wednesday evening, October 5th—the last of the ten days of penitence that began with #RoshHashanah (the Jewish New Year). #yrdsb

Why #OrangeShirts? The msg that Residental School survivor Phyllis Webstad wants to pass along is that #EveryChildMatters. Phyllis started the wearing of Orange Shirts to educate people about residential schools and fight racism and bullying.#NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation
