Harmony Day – 13th Anniversary T-Shirts
Our school district theme this year is "Gratitude" and our 2020 Harmony Day T-shirt featured a wonderful piece of Indigenous artwork created by Grade 12 KSS student Teigan Johnston. Her artwork represents the Four Food Chiefs: Skimxist (Bear); Ntytikxw (Salmon); Speetlum (Bitterroot); and Seeya (Saskatoon). Central Stores will deliver purchased t-shirts to individual schools in time for Harmony Day. (February 19, 2020) Direct any questions about Harmony Day t-Shirts to Deb Rouire at Deborah.Rouire@sd23.bc.ca |
TEIGAN JOHNSTON
I am a Grade 12 student at Kelowna Secondary School who is grateful to live on this beautiful Okanagan land. After learning about the Four Food Chiefs: skəmxist (Bear); n’tyxtix (Salmon); spitlem (Bitterroot); and siyaʔ (Saskatoon Berry) from our Indigenous Advocate, I learned how to integrate them into my artwork based on the theme of Gratitude. Along with my family, I will continue to participate and embrace Sylix Culture in our community. I am honoured for the opportunity to share my artwork with the Central Okanagan School District for Harmony Day.
