Happy Friday, Raven families,

Earth Day, field trips, river floats, badminton, track and field, volleyball celebrations, a full moon, as well as a practice fire drill, oh my! What a busy week at RTA.

May is Asian Heritage Month:

• May is Asian Heritage Month in Canada, a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions, experiences, and impact of individuals of Asian heritage in Canada and around the world. According to the 2021 Census, more than seven million people in Canada reported having Asian origins, or about 19.3 per cent of the population, contributing to every aspect of life in Canada.
• CBE students and staff acknowledge Asian Heritage Month by learning about and celebrating traditional and contemporary Asian-Canadian culture. Students learn about the different journeys and histories of Asian communities and people, including the numerous achievements and contributions of Asian-Canadians.
