October seemed like a long month, but November is just flying by! By the time you read this, we will already be at the end of November, and the holiday excitement is already starting! The snow is starting to fly, although it has yet to stay.
Remembrance Day
Due to Public Health Protocols, we could not attend the Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph, so we held our own school-wide ceremony outside. It was the first time this year that we had brought all K-12 students together – it was important to come together to raise the flag and stand for a moment of silence, together as a school, while remaining in our cohorts.
If you get a chance, you can go to our school Facebook page to watch all of the students sing O’Canada. There is also a video link, made by Grade 11 student, Haley Elgie, about Remembrance Day, paying special tribute to Indigenous Veterans Day which was on November 8th.
We have had lots of Remembrance Day art decorating our hallways and reminding us of its important. Grade 9/10 Tech students made wooden crosses, and Grade 11/12 Art students painted them, and made the banner (see photo above).
