"Stars of Hope have been delivered to our community from New York. They are meant to be a symbol as a daily reminder that children in New York City care about the people of our community and that we are all in this together. They will be placed on fences, trees, and other public places to give our community a sense of HOPE each and every day. Students from Dene High and Ducharme Elementary will be placing them throughout our community this week. Please respect these wonderful gifts and leave them where they are placed ' .Link to La Loche Community School
The stars were sent in response to a tragedy that occurred in La Loche in 2016.
"On January 22, 2016, four people were killed and seven others injured in a shooting spree in La Loche. Two people were killed at their home and a teacher and an educational assistant were killed at the La Loche Community School".
