	Teach the Children Well

	*art: Discovering Wisdom* by Cecil Bell**

We teach Mi'kmaq immersion in our school in pre-school, kindergarten, primary and in our day care. Please teach your child Native values and language while they are small.

Respect of self
Elders
Mother Earth
Traditional chants and drumming.

We teach them prayers every morning over the PA in the Native language, and 1 lesson every day like;

Be a good friend
Go visit Grandma " kiju" and help clean her house for her
Clean up the environment
Be nice to your pet
Or anything we think that will help the child become a good Indian.
