Remembrance Day Commemoration Ceremony

Our Ceremony was a huge success.  The kids were great and we had a HUGE turn out from parents and community (thank you fire fighters for attending).  We were all given a home made poppy at the beginning and later we posted them on our gallery tour in remembrance.

Our Ceremony started off with O Canada.  Then the Juniors presented their book, "A Poppy is to Remember" (hopefully posted soon).

Then the seniors presented one of the three poems they created about the war.

Then we had a gallery tour of our art and historical items.


Laura brought in historical artifacts of her Great Uncles and family.  Some of the books date back to 1922.  It was pretty amazing.

The art represented warm and cold colors.  The warm and cold colors showed that war and peace can be viewed as warm and cold.   Above it represents warm colors of war.

Thanks Mr. Bond for a great art lesson on colors and representation.
