Take a look at a very special project from earlier this school year–a Woodland mural created by Grade 6 students at École Notre-Dame-du-Sault, led by the incredible Lucia Laford!

Through stories and paint, students explored the Seven Grandfather Teachings–Love, Respect, Courage, Wisdom, Humility, Honesty, and Truth–a set of guiding principles in Anishinaabe culture. Together, students and Lucia transformed a well-traveled stairwell into a vibrant tribute to culture, community, and connection.
