The Tawaw Centre was the place to be this afternoon! Grade 3 students from École Henry Kelsey School joined our community to take part in a seated dance class. Saskatoon's Shannon Bray, who has been teaching dance to our Elders for the past few months, led the large and enthusiastic group. It was an amazing time and we sure hope to see the École Henry Kelsey kids soon! Saskatoon Public Schools The Eden Alternative

GREAT NEWS! Dave has been found!
Somehow, he ended up in the ceiling and then behind a wall. Staff and Elders heard Dave crying behind a panel earlier this evening. They used a screwdriver to carefully pry open the panel and out came out a very hungry but happy Dave!
He is now enjoying some well deserved TLC from Elders and staff. Thank you for all the Facebook shares and we are thrilled this story has a happy ending:)
Dave, one of our new cats in Fourth Neighbourhoods, has gone missing! He was last seen Monday morning. We are not sure if Dave is still in the building or has ventured outside. If you see him, please send us a message or let an Elder or staff know. Thank you!

On Friday, Tanya was leading a game of TriBond in the Community Day Program. Can you guess which three words share something in common and why? Leave you answer in the comments section!
#GivingTuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Black Friday. It's the “opening day of the giving season,” and a time when charities, companies and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the nonprofit community comes together for #GivingTuesday.
The Sherbrooke Foundation encourages you to make #GivingTuesday a day to think about- and take action - on making our world and your community a better place through your personal philanthropy and volunteering.
Thank you!

Congratulations to our Elders, staff and the iGen class for raising 160 kilograms of food for the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre!

Every day, the Food Bank distributes 8000 pounds of food to those in need in our community. Thank you to all of you who donated to our We Scare Hunger fundraiser! Saskatoon Public Schools

This afternoon, Elders tried their hand at an ancient form of expression called India Ink Painting. It's been used for thousands of years to create calligraphy.
