GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Aboriginal Awareness Week - Free the Children
Free The Children is having an Aboriginal Awareness Week to shine light on the long history and rich culture possessed by Aboriginal, and to also shine light on the huge role they've played in Canadian history.  Fact #1: Did you know that there is a total of 87 Aboriginal languages in Canada?  Please join us in the IGS room 264 to play in the "Bone Game: Lahal team competitions" TOMORROW (Tuesday) at lunch.  This is an ancient gambling game that pits team against team in a battle of wits and deception.
