This morning our children in grades
JK-6 participated in a meaningful chapel regarding Remembrance Day. It was
wonderful to see such a large group of parents in
attendance.
Our students in grades 7-8 attended
the service at the St. Catharines Cenotaph.
It is good to take time to remember
lives that were too quickly taken during war. It is also important to be
thankful that we live in a country that is law-abiding, peaceful, and
free.
We ended our chapel with the
singing of O Canada! As is custom at Beacon, when we sing O Canada!, we are sure
to sing this accompanying verse:
Ruler supreme, who
hearest humble prayer,
Hold our Dominion,
in thy loving care.
Help us to find, O
God, in thee,
A lasting rich
reward.
As waiting for the
better day,
We ever stand on
guard.
God keep our land,
glorious and free.
O Canada, we stand
on guard for thee!
O Canada, we stand
on guard for thee!
Even though we are "waiting for the
better day", we have much to be thankful for today
