ANGOLA, NY – On Wednesday, September 30, Lake Shore Central School District will join communities across the country in observing Orange Shirt Day, also known as Every Child Matters Day.

The day began in 2013 to honor Indigenous children and families affected by residential schools. It is a chance for the whole community to learn about this history and show support for the families it still affects today. Students, staff, and families across the district are invited to wear orange that day as a simple way to show they stand together.

Every child matters. Lake Shore is proud to stand with communities across the country on this day of remembrance and reconciliation.
