Our Lady of Fatima celebrated the Moose Hide Campaign on Thursday, May 12^th.  It is a day that saw students in Grades 3-8 fast all morning and then go on a special awareness walk through the streets of Elliot Lake.

We were blessed to have the support of Katrina Owl, Alyssa Traves, Bud Jacobs, Genevieve Ruggles, Lee Simpson, Rob Essex, Justin Urquhart, Jeff Jacobs and parents who helped us run this special event. We had our drumming group perform some songs, we danced, we broke our fast in the afternoon and enjoyed cedar tea, berries, moose stew and bannock.

Students made signs and took the pledge to take a stand against violence towards women and children. Students wore their moose hide pins proudly and raised awareness about the need to end violence. The day was made possible by our incredible NSL teacher Chylene Day. We are so proud of all of our students who demonstrated the importance of this cause and had lots of fun in the process.
