Happy National Indigenous Day, Raven families,

At RTA, we continue to work towards Truth & Reconciliation with great humility.  There is a so much to learn and unlearn, as we attempt to move forward in a good way. As a community, we continue to work diligently to honour and to respect Indigenous culture and traditions, mindfully weaving Indigenous ways of knowing into our learning.

 As we approach the last week of school, I would like to thank all of the field trip and classroom volunteers, coaches, science fair judges, band camp parents, and council members that have helped support such an amazing year at RTA!
