The Feast

Back in Toronto, and we are all still reflecting on our wonderful trip to work at Mikisew School in Cross Lake last week. On Friday, staff and students put on an amazing Fall Feast. All of the students and staff ate together. We played the news footage from Downsview's Orange Shirt Day, and then the  video Downsview students created to introduce themselves to the students of Cross Lake.

It was so nice hearing the students at Mikisew cheer when they heard good things about their school on the news! And the pride that could be felt as everyone turned to watch familiar faces appeared on screen. The students at Mikisew made five movies throughout the week. All of them took on the personality of the camera people, light and sound personal in charge of each shoot. 

We are very thankful to have met Anna McKay, Mikisew's principal, VP Myrna Blacksmith, and Elaine Beardy the school's Guidance councillor.

 Student dances were fantastic!

Everything was just so perfect. Thank you all again for a fantastic week. We can't wait to see what happens next! Hopefully, we see you in Toronto soon!
