Our students did such an amazing job both performing their song and as respectful citizens during our first Remembrance Day ceremony. Thank you to those of you who were able to attend. Before our ceremony we took a look at some pictures that were captured during the first and second world wars of soldiers in their trenches and talked about how difficult it must have been for those men and women to be in the middle of that battle. What really seemed to impact students was the pictures of the soldiers saying goodbye to their loved ones and children. I believe it helped remind the class that they were normal people like us that had families and were loved, as it can be easy to hear the numbers of lives lost and lose that perspective. Everyone received a poppy today for the ceremony and to wear throughout the day to show our respect. It was very difficult for us to all keep our poppies on our shirts but students made every effort and attempt to ensure their poppy was on and kept in good condition.
If students forgot to bring their learning commons books back they can bring them on Monday and they will have a chance to go to the library to get a new one. If they sign out a book on Monday or Tuesday they can have out until Thursday November 17 or the following Thursday.
