DCS Student’s

Artwork Chosen for

Official 2017 Orange

Shirt Day Design my Peters’ design was

selected from over 380

submissions to be the logo for this

year’s provincial Orange Shirt

Campaign.

Amy, who is in Grade 11 at

Delburne Centralized School, was

keen to participate in the design

competition because of her great

respect and interest in Indigenous

culture. The competition was

organized through The Society for

Safe and Caring Schools &

Communities, which is

instrumental in the annual Orange

Shirt event that honours residential

school survivors and promotes

ongoing reconciliation.

“The spirit within the youth that

put on paper what their hearts and

minds were feeling to help all

children to feel safe, is amazing!

Thank you for all your gifts,” said

Elder Wilson Bearhead, one of the

design judges.

The Orange Shirt Day

campaign has been growing

quickly, since it was launched in

2013. It grew from ‘Phyllis’ Story’

of having her shiny new orange

shirt taken away on her first day at

residential school when she was a

very young girl. The end of

September date was chosen

because it’s the time of year in

which children were taken from

their homes to residential schools.

It’s an opportunity to set the stage

for anti-racism and anti-bullying

policies for the coming school

year.

“We learned all about the Truth

and Reconciliation Commission in

Social class, and I just felt

compelled to show my deep

respect,” said Amy, who has

attended Delburne Centralized

School since Grade 1. “The work

underway to rebuild First Nations,

Métis and Inuit communities is so

important, and if my art can

provide any kind of support to

those efforts I’m thrilled. The

symbolism in Indigenous artwork

is so meaningful, and the colours

and symbols and placement of

every item is so intricate, that

being able to learn more about it

has added so much depth to my art.

I’m just very grateful to be part of

this event and very proud that my

design was chosen from among so

many others.”

Art isn’t Amy’s only passion.

Along with being an engaged high

school student, she is an avid

competitive archer who is trying to

qualify for the Canada Winter

Games when they come to Red

Deer in 2019. She’s not far from

her goal, having won the Silver

Medal at the 2014 Alberta Winter

Games in Banff and Bronze at

Medicine Hat in 2016.

“There is no reason a small-

town student can’t reach their

goals, with some hard work and

perseverance,” said Amy. “My

school is so good to us. They

support us in many different

things, some which are completely

outside of school. They really want

us to pursue our interests and reach

our goals – it’s meant a lot to me.”

Delburne Centralized School,

along with many other schools and

departments in Chinook’s Edge,

will be ablaze in orange later this

month, all showcasing Amy’s

design. “Amy’s story is a

testament to the power of schools

to educate, inspire and cultivate

change,” said Principal Ted

Hutchings. “Amy is a remarkably

talented young lady who makes

our school and community a better

place.”

Orange Shirt Day is being

commemorated this year on

Friday, September 29th

.

Principal’s Message elcome back to another

school year. We are off to

an excellent start at Delburne

Centralized School. It is very

exciting to start a new year and I

am thrilled to be back for my fifth

year at DCS.

I want to emphasize to all

parents that I believe success in

school requires a three-way

partnership. Staff, students, and

parents need to work together! I

would like to personally invite all

parents to join us at the school on

the morning of Thursday,

September 28th. We will be having

a free pancake breakfast, followed

by an opportunity to visit your

child's class and meet their teacher.

At 9:30am, we will hold our

September DCS Celebrates

Assembly, followed by our annual

Terry Fox Run. Parents are

welcome to join us for part or all

of the morning.

As always, if you have any

questions, please contact me

directly at 403-749-3838 or email

thutchings@cesd73.ca.

Sincerely,

Ted Hutchings

Principal

HOT LUNCH AND HOT DOG VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Hot Dogs and Hot Lunch are a great revenue source for our PAC, and the students love it – but it does require

volunteers to run the program. With funds generated from Hot Dogs and Hot Lunch, we are able to help with

busing costs, new uniform purchases, levelled readers for the classrooms, provide in-school guest speakers and

performers, just to name a few.

However, this program cannot run without volunteers. You can volunteer as little or as much as you want –

every shift is greatly appreciated. We need volunteers for Wednesdays (hot dogs) and Fridays (hot lunch). You

will always be paired with someone who has volunteered before to help you learn the process.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact De Anne at 403-749-3095. We

appreciate everyone who has volunteered to date, and look forward to having new faces join the Hot Lunch

Team.

If we do not have a sufficient volunteer team, the hot lunch program cannot be successful!

===============================================================================

Please check from the list below what you can volunteer for. Return the form to the school at your earliest

convenience. The Hot Lunch Coordinator will contact you to set up times and dates that work best with your

schedule. Thank you so much!!
