Elder Shirley Hill Residency 

Elder Shirley Hill will be at Acadia School all next week to share hoop dancing and teachings with our students.  Elder Shirley Hill (Anatsipi’kssaakii) shares her gifts, and knowledge with residents of Moh’kins’tsis each day. A proud member of the Siksika Nation, she has been dancing Fancy Shawl style for almost 40 years. Shirley is passionate about teaching step by step traditional dance and hoop dance. She understands the importance of sharing the history of the Blackfoot people - Niitsitapiisinni (Our Way of Life) from the Dog Days, Horse Days, Buffalo Days and present. Shirley works in many Calgary schools and loves to share stories, and introduce the students to Lemon the Bear. She focuses on Blackfoot words and the importance of language in keeping traditions alive and connecting us to nature. 

Photo Orders 

Photo orders are due by December 1. You can order online or send the paper order form back to the teacher. A reminder that retake day is Monday December 8. 

Coffee Canisters 

Mrs Veresovya is in need of coffee canisters with their plastic lids, like the 1.36 kg metal Kirkland brand coffee sold at Costco. If your family uses this type of container and is able to send one in to the office, it would be a huge help—thank you so much!
