The Stonewall Teulon Tribune Thursday, January 5, 2017 3 Funds for fun By Jo-Anne Procter Thanks to a generous donation of $15,000 from the Richardson Foundation on Dec. 22, students from Grosse Isle school and children from the community are one step closer to debt free fun. Students and their families have been fundraising since last February to build an age appropriate playground for their Grade 5-8 school. The modern playground structure includes a Net Plex climbing piece, an Oodle Swing and a zipline. Since 1857, James Richardson & Sons, Limited has maintained a strong belief in giving back to the communities in which they serve. It’s a commitment borne of respect and appreciation for the places their employees call home and for the moments that make up life beyond the workplace. In 2000, this entity was renamed the Richardson Foundation and a new vision and mission statement was introduced, focused on helping create sustainable futures for registered Canadian charitable organizations in the Visual and Performing Arts, TRIBUNE PHOTO BY JO-ANNE PROCTER Education, Youth Initiatives and Environmental Issues.

By Natasha Tersigni To teach students about the First Nations people of Canada, Stony Mountain School staff hosted an In- digenous Perspectives Day on Dec. 21. The students were divided into mixed grade groups and then ro- tated through stations that taught culture and tradi- tions. Students played traditional Indigenous games in the gym before heading outdoors for snowshoeing and skiing. Traditionally First Nations people would carve snowshoes and skis out of wood, which would help them hunt in the winter. Students were also treated to a bannock station where they roasted fl at bread over an open fi re. Ban- nock was a staple of meals for First Nations in North America. While indoors students got a bit crafty and painted pictures of the seven teachings, weaved bracelets and created dream catchers. During the day students learned about totems poles from Grade 5 teacher Michelle Avgeropolis who has TRIBUNE PHOTOS BY NATASHA TERSIGNI traveled to Central America and have seen tradition- Students hold up their fi nished dream catchers.
