About this Event

We’ve all heard the proverb “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child.” Never has this been more true. In a world where we are more disconnected than ever, Dr. Jody Carrington will speak on the importance of connection. She will be talking about one of the hardest jobs on the planet, raising and teaching kids. Connection is a universal language and disconnection is the biggest problem we face today. We will understand how attachment and connection to our kids, our partners, our teachers, and our community can give our children the most important skill they will ever learn: how to be the kind and connected people we can be proud of.

If we can work together as a community we can learn how to become more connected and support our community of kids and ourselves. You can expect an evening of laughter, stories, learning, maybe a few tears, and a whole lot of inspiration. Bentley School is proud to be hosting this amazing event! Refreshments and snacks included with ticket purchase.

"Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission residential school commemoration event, held in spring 2013 in William Lake, BC.  It grew out of a former student's account of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission. The orange shirt is meant to recognize the harm done to residential school students and show a commitment to the principle that every child matters!  A date in September was chosen because it is the time of year when children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for the anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year. It is also an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come."
