SchoolBOX

Our Bundle is the heart of our SchoolBOX Program—a sacred collection of teachings, memories, and connections that travels from community to community with us.

Centered around the Medicine Wheel, it carries the four sacred medicines, cultural teachings, keepsakes, and gifts from communities such as Grassy Narrows. Each item reflects the relationships, experiences, and knowledge that continue to guide our journey.

More than a collection, the Bundle is a living story of who we are and the communities we walk alongside. ❤️

“Aanii Boozhoo! Niimi’iwe Shkode Kwe — Dancing Fire Woman — is my spirit name. Migizi Dodem (Eagle Clan). I am Ojibway and Algonquin from Timiskaming First Nation, residing on Mnidoo Mnising, Manitoulin Island.”

We’re honoured to welcome Melanie to the SchoolBOX team as our Community and Education Outreach Coordinator. With more than 35 years of experience working alongside children, families, and educators, Melanie brings deep care, knowledge, and a lifelong commitment to supporting children’s growth, identity, and well-being.

Her work has included everything from early childhood programs and youth initiatives to teaching adults in early childhood education, always grounded in relationship, community, and a passion for supporting future generations.

Please join us in welcoming Melanie to the team!
