FCS Land Acknowledgment

During a morning meeting last month, students explored the history of the Indigenous peoples who originally inhabited Vermont, gaining insight into their deep connection to the land and the importance of considerate land stewardship. They learned about land acknowledgments and discussed why these are crucial for fostering awareness and care for the environment. As a school, they worked collaboratively to create a land acknowledgment that celebrates the natural beauty of Ferrisburgh, reflecting on what they love about the land. This activity ties into our school-wide theme of "Words in the Wild," encouraging students to understand and express their relationship with the land through thoughtful language and action.
