We Remember

Today, with Canadians across the country and people across the world, we stopped to remember. 

While our Grade 7 and 8 students spent their time remembering at the cenotaph today, the rest of our students and staff assembled.

All of our students made a paper cross and poppy and we hung them row on row. 

Our throughline for this month is Servant Working. How does Servant Working tie in to Remembrance Day?

We remember the soldiers who, over the past many and recent years, have become servants in mission for peace, here and around the world. Their desire to end injustice was an act of servant work. Some paid the ultimate price. 

As well, many soldiers have returned home. Some bear physical and emotional scars that run deep. We need to remember them in our prayers and acts of kindness. 

Furthermore, we wear our poppies today on our left side, over our hearts. We need to serve with love in any opportunity we can find. 

We also watched this moving video, which we followed with moments of silence and a playing in "The Last Post".

We pray for peace. We remember.
