Rainbow Crosswalk - another first in SD62!

Date

rainbow crosswalk

Royal Bay Secondary leadership students and staff brought out a whole bunch of bright paint colours today as they set in to paint the district's first bipoc rainbow crosswalk. 

Today’s painting of the Rainbow crosswalk at RBSS was the culmination of a student led initiative to acknowledge equity, reconciliation and community here at our school and in our larger community.  Students and staff (led by Danielle Huculak) worked incredibly hard on this project over the last several months. 

Much planning, prepping a organizing went into this “district first” crosswalk.  Our students helped our district painter, Todd McElroy, make this a reality.  Todd and Danielle were instrumental and worked with an amazing group of talented and focused students to make this happen  at Royal Bay. 

This crosswalk will only add tot the strong socially minded culture at the school.  Education is about allowing students to find their voice and stand up for what they believe in - this is an example of student success and community spirit.

Well done Ravens!
