Remembrance Day Observance

Canada is the best country in the world to live in. Our citizens are blessed with freedom, opportunity and a standard of living that is unrivalled in today’s world, and without parallel in history. As Canadians, we express pride in our ancestors for building such a great nation and in themselves for preserving it. However, this did not occur by chance; it is a result of tireless effort and sacrifice in the past and present.

Our school has the responsibility to enrich students' early experiences so that each child in our country may develop a real understanding and appreciation for Remembrance Day and can learn about our history and have an understanding of the sacrifices that many Canadians made to preserve and protect the way of life that we now embrace.

If you wish, please send a donation to the school in support of The Royal Canadian Legion.  Every child will receive a poppy lapel pin or sticker for our Remembrance Day Assembly on November 10th.
