Reconciliation and Indigenous ways of knowing are key considerations in this year’s Student Action Challenge project at Riverside School. Grade four students will be working with the Calgary Board of Education Council of Elders and Indigenous Education Team to integrate traditional ways of knowing into their science class. For their project, they will be growing native shrubs and grasses in their school yard, not only supporting their science education but also increasing native plant habitat and biodiversity in their schoolyard.
